Early morning you will meet with the rest of pilgrims at the meeting point, and soon you will drive towards north and soon we will cross the mountain range of Somosierra, the natural border line between north and south of Spain. We will arrive to the city of Burgos. Our walking tour in Burgos will start at the Gothic Cathedral where we will visit the burial place of the celebrated hero, El Cid. All in this solemn city seems to revolve around the Cathedral, one of the most beautiful and monumental on the European continent, and considered since its construction one of the highlights of Gothic architecture.

Breakfast. First thing in the morning, a local guide will meet you in the lobby of your hotel to take you on a tour of the city. You will be taken around the most emblematic sites before visiting the most impressive and important of all, the Cathedral, a masterpiece of Romanesque art, constructed around the sepulchral of the Apostle Santiago (James). No matter what time of the year you visit the city, you will encounter a multitude of pilgrims who have come, many on foot, to pay homage at his tomb. And so it has been for over a thousand years. Of all the pilgrimages of the Middle Ages, that of Santiago is the only one that continues to be largely undertaken on foot. And, while there are some who undertake the Way to Santiago for non-religious reasons, the majority do so as an expression of their deep devotion.

They walk the same paths, contemplate the same countryside, and mouth the same orations in the same places, as did the first pilgrims over ten centuries ago. Today, the imposing granite presence of the Cathedral dominates the city, physically, socially and economically. In the evening, you can sit in a café terrace or stroll about the city’s streets, animated by a large student presence as Santiago is also home to one of Spain´s oldest universities. Overnight stay.

Después de desayunar, y siguiendo el Camino de regreso volveremos hacia Castilla y la ciudad de Ponferrada y pronto tomaremos dirección sur siguiendo la antigua calzada romana, conocida por la Vía de la Plata, una ruta que en tiempos de la Hispania romana, era la ruta de acceso que seguían los minerales, principalmente oro y plata, de camino hacia Sevilla donde embarcaban en dirección a Roma, y pronto llegaremos a la ciudad de Salamanca, una de las joyas del arte renacentista español. Su Universidad es considerada como la cuna de la lengua castellana y es una de las más antiguas de Europa, fundada en 1218 y donde enseñaron entre otros Fray Luis de León y San Juan de la Cruz. Además, la ciudad de Salamanca es una de las pocas ciudades europeas que tiene dos catedrales, una de estilo románico y otra de estilo gótico, además de una de las mas bellas plazas mayores de España.
