October 21, 2004


Leaving Burgos I stopped at the Hospital de Rey; originally the city’s most important medieval pilgrim hospice, today it houses the university law faculty. Old buildings are most successfully blended with contemporary. The same materials are used, window shapes repeated and roof levels kept. Parked nearby was the white van! I stopped for another tea and chat. Continuing westward was muddy and wet. Passing a large prison in the rain after 10 k I stopped at the cozy municipal albergue in Tardajos. The Spanish houseparents were most welcoming and took a ‘family photo’ of all ‘their’ pilgrims.
