12.85 miles from Burgos to Hornillos del Camino across parks, campus, and open paths. Fast morning pace, a passport stamp, then sore feet. Checked into a quiet 4-bed room, garden rest, tortilla and bocadillo, a stroll for cherry plums, communal dinner, journaling, and an early night.

Rest day in Burgos meant slow coffee mornings, free entry to the Human Evolution Museum, and views from the castle hill. I strolled the city, grabbed pintxos and ice cream by the cathedral, and stocked up for tomorrow. A perfect reset, and my feet finally feel ready for the road again.

14.34 miles from Agés to Burgos, mostly flat after an early hill and a dull river-park approach. Sore feet and a slow hostel check-in, then free Tuesday entry to the vast cathedral. Finished with wine, a pilgrim menu, and farewells. Rest day in Burgos next.

14.75 miles from Tosantos to Agés in drizzle and fog, with a steep climb, quiet forest, and horses by the path. Coffee stops with friends, a rescued bird cameo, and a welcome four-bed room felt like luxury. After dinner downstairs, I planned a full rest day in Burgos to heal sore ankles.

13 miles to Tosantos felt heavy despite shorter distance. Clouds, cafes, and a lap-seeking kitten marked the walk, but by evening my body and mind were both tired. A donativo stay brought a cave-church tour, shared cooking, and dinner, though I mostly kept to myself and rested early.
