Burgos is one of the classic starting points for walking the second half of the Camino Frances: around 490 kilometres to Santiago, just over three weeks on foot. The city has a train station, a bus station and an airport with domestic flights, and the Camino Frances passes right in front of its UNESCO World Heritage cathedral. Starting here means tackling the Meseta from day one and following it straight into the mountains of Le\u00f3n and Galicia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From Burgos to Santiago de Compostela is 22 stages, crossing first the grain plains of Burgos and Palencia, then Le\u00f3n and the Maragater\u00eda, the Bierzo and the mountains of Galicia. With your pilgrim credential stamped daily \u2014 twice a day over the last 100 kilometres, from Sarria onward \u2014 you qualify for the Compostela.
