Burgos to Leon

This marks half way (about 400km) through the Camino... why again are we doing this???






This is the duldroms of the Camino and many of the people we meet that were short of time would catch the bus through this part. This part was extremely flat and was the most mentally challenging. Whilst going over the Pyrinese was one hell of a physical struggle there is somthing to be said about walking all day towards an endless horizon with nothing but your own thoughts to entertain yourself with. This stretch also has the longest walking days becasue it is so flat. Sometimes there would be 22 kms between towns. Our longest day was 37km which is about 9 hours of walking. we did many things to keep ourself sane, like good old "top five" which we covered every catagory imaginable.
Saying all this the weather was amazing during this section, never walked in the rain once.
We spent Good Friday watching the "Semana Santa " procession. This was a very interesting insight into the strong Catholic culture present here in Spain.
