Burgos

Getting to Burgos from San Juan de Ortega was easy up to Orbaneja, with Taluza's knees doing much better at this point.  The first part up to Agés brought us through bosques, pine and oak trees.
Had a great breakfast at a bar in Agés, french bread with tortilla con batatas, capuccino decaf,
bad experience with woman at bar in Cardeñuela, then 2 kms later we found a bar in Orbaneja that was closed but had chairs in front and nice shaded area so we just sat down for a nice rest, and the owner showed up and the party was on. The stretch from there to the edge of the Burgos suburbs, in the afternoon sun with no shade, was a test, but - with a little help - we made it to Burgos.







We decide it's time for a break and some technical modifications. So we are spending an extra day here, taking advantage to get Taluz some new shoes.
