Raining in Burgos during our tourist period however we managed to walk 2k to the old town and took photos. Another amazing cathedral followed by black pudding and sangria for lunch. Good Friday and full of people on holiday and locals going to church.
In the evening we had a meal in a building built in 1506, now a bar, full of locals (simple but great authentic food) and plenty of wine. Shared a bottle with Barb and had a go at drinking out of a porron (like a small carafe with a spout on it). Quite an art not fully mastered first time around. Unfortunately didn't have the camera to capture the moment!
Bus to Tolosa the next day (Fine), started raining as we arrived. Quiet walk around the town, siesta, dinner then bed.
This morning got our guide map and wandered around the local highlights. Another cathedral, but on a smaller scale. Only 20,000 people live here, lovely spot. Rowing crews out on the river and lots of people out walking in the sunshine (yes we had a sunny day). Local tourist office put us on to the local cider house for a meal and cider tasting/drinking, straight from the barrel. Made some Basque friends who adopted us. Great afternoon, no need for dinner.
looks like a fun couple of days! i bet the pouring thing got harder as the afternoon progressed. watch out for that cider it bites!! miles
