Camino de Santiago PRO TIP: Avoid the Industrial Walk to Burgos - Walk the River Instead!

The walk into Burgos on the Camino de Santiago is notoriously one of the least beautiful sections of Camino Frances. In this episode, I teach you how to get to the more beautiful river walk through the park on the south side of Burgos. Here I show you all the turns and tricks!

I walked this route into Burgos in 2018 with my sister. Such great memories of a wonderful Camino. This was a beautiful and peaceful way into the city. Buen Camino!

[@CaminoGuide]

That is a wonderful memory. I love that this was the first time I got to walk with Gorka...who became a friend.

@@CaminoGuide Thank you for the encouraging words.. hope I will .. can , .. remember to avoid the walk by the Industrial Park around Burgos . I will try to start my The Camino walk in May 2022 ( but I’m also flexible) end up somewhere either at the End Of The world, ( health permitted ) or some where else. Buen Camino ! 🇨🇦

This was awesome find!

[@CaminoGuide]

Thanks!!

[@jeff4493]

Thanks very much for this, this is a great walk into a big town, leaving the highway path and then following the river for what felt like a few km till a few hundred metres from the cathedral. Watching the video and memorising the key turns made this an easy alternative route ( and much nicer than the routes into and through Pamplona and Logrono). Buen Camino!

[@CaminoGuide]

I love that this is being helpful for folks already. A few people have said they used it to make their way. Buen Camino!

[@iamzazami]

[@ponderinghiker]

Awesome… thank you…. I start my walk on the 28th of September… can’t wait… Buen Camino

[@CaminoGuide]

That's awesome. I wish I could return already!

Good video to show this more enjoyable route into Burgos. I tried it when I did my first Camino in 2018, but missed the road crossing bit. I found a cut across to the river a few km further down, after stopping to ask a municipal worker who was there. She redirected us through some woods back onto the river trail. If it had been better signposted then we would have got onto the river trail a bit sooner. I was still suffering from shin splint injury by that point, so I spent a good 20 minutes with my legs in the cold water of the river Arlanzón.

[@CaminoGuide]

I am sure I would have messed this up if I didn’t have GPS on my app. I hope the video helps people stay on the path! I was just wanting to be done that day or I would have loved some river time.

[@tracygooyers3702]

Thanks! What's the name of the town where the tractor went by?

[@stinaolsen6909]

Does anyone know if its well marked now? I will Hopefully be there in a few weeks...

[@CaminoGuide]

This video was just made last July (2021). It’s highly unlikely that the turn off is marked. Use the video for that. There are a fair amount of arrows after that.

[@stinaolsen6909]

@@CaminoGuide Great - thank you! And thank you for the work you do!

[@michaelmoran2122]

I missed the turn off. :(

[@CaminoGuide]

It's really easy to do!

[@courtnayzeitler8564]

That airport part was sketchy tho.

[@CaminoGuide]

That didn’t both me so much. But it was a long path without much interaction/arrows/etc.

[@joeforeman8754]

Jeremiah are you Ok ? looks like you are limping Go with God

[@CaminoGuide]

Oh I was definitely limping. I actually limp all the way through every Camino because of the blisters. I had at least 4-5 blisters by the point when I made this video!
