Camino parallel to freeway

Our original plan was to stay 2 nights in Burgos. It is a beautiful town, which we really enjoyed, but with most things closed on Mondays, we moved on to Tradajos, about 8.5 miles away.

We left after a late (8:00 am) breakfast. Steve was very happy to finally have a good and plentiful breakfast to enjoy – eggs, fruit, meat, assorted breads and cheeses, as well as juices and coffee. The typical pilgrim breakfast we get is a small cup of coffee, and OJ, and a piece of toast!

You don’t need to be jealous of our trek here! It was hot, dusty, and unspectacular views along a highway! Nothing to distract our progress.

We stopped in a bar in Tradajos for a break, and to call ahead for a double room. We were finding all doubles sold out. As we were leaving we noticed above the bar was Pension Mary. It is owned by the bar- small and clean and a great value. It’s just not marketed well, so people can’t find it!!! We have the place to ourselves!

Nice people run the place- their daughter was extremely helpful translating for us to get a place for tomorrow night.
