Today was my favorite walk! As we left the albergue, there was a hill to climb - - not my favorite thing to do in the AM or anytime for that matter. The reward was a beautiful walk through fern, evergreens and then forest for 12.2 km on a wide road. It was just like Northern Michigan!!
Passed thru Atapuerca, where archaeologists have uncovered the best preserved human remains from 800,000 years ago. Nice visitor´s center. Climbed up and over a limestone ridge (Sierra de Atapuerca) to a beautifull view of Burgos in the distance. A few km further was the albergue where we spent the night. We opted to have dinner at the only bar-restaurant in town. Dinner was macaroni con carne, loma with sunnyside up egg, chorizo, tortilla de potato, green salad with onions and tomato and ice cream.
