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!🚶♂️🌧️

Guissona hiking
This route was part of the Catalan’s endurance 2023 serries. My gps managed to direct me to the wrong city so I arrived at the start about 15 min later. The crowd of 2000 people were already long gone and I had to catch them and overpass, because I wanted to walk fast, to see…
