We left Santiago de Compostela on Wednesday 14th, starting our journey back eastwards. We stopped for one night at an Aire overlooking to the river in a city called Lugo. Lugo is most famous for being only city in the world to be surrounded by completely intact 3rd century Roman walls, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The symbol embedded in the ground by the walls indicated that this location is also on one of the Camino routes.

The next day we drove on to a campsite Camping Fuentes Blancas in the town of Burgos, again for one night. As all the pitches were on grass we had a major challenge after the recent rain finding a spot where the van didn’t sink into the mud!
