Stage Description
This 25.8 km stage brings the pilgrim to the monumental city of Burgos. The first part runs through a low mountain landscape and forests, passing by the small town of Agés. The route crosses the Sierra de Atapuerca, a place of immense value for humanity due to its paleontological deposits, declared World Heritage Site. From the top of the mountain, the first views of Burgos are obtained. The final stretch is a long descent and an approach to the city that runs along its industrial and residential periphery, an effort that is widely rewarded with entry into the historic center and the view of its majestic Gothic Cathedral, one of the universal art's jewels.
