Day Three to Santiago!

From Burgos to Ourense ...


Last tunnel through the mountains ... 


We found our way to Ourense ...checked in to our hotel for the evening and then went in search of the Hostel to have our Passports stamped ... from our starting point!




Then we found our way to the Puente Romano (Roman Bridge) ... our official starting place tomorrow 
morning...




A good night's rest and we will start our walk along the way in the morning!

A River Walk in Burgos

Our last afternoon in Burgos we found time for a walk to explore some of the green spaces along the Rio Arlanzon.

Madame M. and I left our "Monsieurs" actually for the next couple of weeks they are now our "Señors" to fend for themselves ... 




Along the river they have created beautiful parks that go for miles .... with walking paths, bicycle paths no other vehicles allowed.



 






We even made a new friend ... the city has many artistic bronze statues.

Burrowing to Burgos...

We travelled via many tunnels through the mountains to reach our first stop on route ... arriving in Burgos, Spain late in the afternoon on Sunday.

The countryside is so lush and green.

We checked in to our hotel and hit the streets for a tour of the city, some cool refreshments and tapas.

There were so many photo "postcards" in Burgos and I need to find time to "blog" ... maybe in the car trip to Ourense tomorrow (Tuesday)!
