Stage 12. Agés – Burgos
The final stretch from Agés to Burgos was mostly asphalt roads, except for the mountain part between kilometers 3 and 8, reaching 1,000 meters again. We opted for the quieter airport route over the industrial area. The entrance to Burgos through a long park was a pleasant surprise. Rain dodged again!🚶♂️🌧️

The Belorado to Agés stage on the Camino de Santiago turned into a long, 28+ km trek, offering a mix of easy terrain, a challenging climb and peaceful forest paths.

Stage 10. Santo Domingo de la Calzada – Belorado
The day was cold and windy, with relentless gusts sweeping across the open wheat fields. Every step was a battle against the elements, but we pushed forward, staying ahead of the rain for the third consecutive day.

Stage 9. Nájera – Santo Domingo de la Calzada
We set out from Nájera into the crisp morning air. Through vineyards, open fields and cold wind, we exchanged “Buen camino”s with fellow pilgrims. Cirueña’s blend of history and unexpected golf courses stood in contrast today.

Stage 7. Torres del Río – Logroño
Ahhh, last day, 20 km only. And the total ascent was very soft, nothing hard. The morning/breakfast is already slightly described in the previous post, nothing else to mention. In general this day went by very fast. Only by mid-distance we reached the first city – Viana. The rest of the route passes through camps…

Stage 6. Estella – Torres del Río
What a day! Out of the 6 hours we were moving, I think we were under somewhat heavy rain 5 hours. About the night, all good. Comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, good service although laundry services a little too expensive – 7 euros per bag. Other than the rain during the day, the route passes through…

Stage 5. Puente de Reina – Estella
The morning was hard. We got a the world champion of snoring near right near us and I barely felt asleep at around 1am and woke up many times until 5-ish when I no longer could sleep until 6, when someone’s alarm rang. Somehow that snoring guy stopped and I managed to sleep until 7.…

Stage 4. Pamplona – Puente de Reina
Ok, hard night. I woke up many many times… After having a quick breakfast, we started the walk at 8am. Crossing the city we enter a somewhat long asphalt road going up slowly. After about 7 km we enter the off-road path and start the heaviest uphill at about 10th km. We reach and cross…

Stage 3. Llarasoaña – Pamplona
Rainy day 😂😂 luckily it was a short one. First, about the dinner and breakfast. The starter had maybe a 50% portion of hummus , for two people, with two 5-6cm sticks of bread. As main dish there was a vegetable soup, very likely to be frozen vegetables and only boiled some time. For second,…
