Larceveau to St Jean Pied de Port, Day 38, Via Podiensis, 20th, May, 24.
We have arrived safely in St Jean! We have luckily been able to buy new boots in the shop in Rue de la Citadelle after we visited the Pilgrim Office, because we both have holes in our uppers of our original boots from all the rain and mud over the last four/five weeks.
We are having a rest day in St Jean tomorrow and then start the Camino Frances on Wednesday morning.
We attended Mass tonight in the Eglise Notre-Dame du Bout du Pont and received the Pilgrim’s Blessing.

Around mid-morning we passed an enormous ruined wall in the distance, which went down to the river and would have enclosed a sizeable fortress. It must have been the Castillo de Castrotorafe mentioned in the Wise Pilgrim guide.

This was a short walk, so I arrived with plenty of time to visit the town. The visit turned in to an unexpected overnight stop. My phone mysteriously locked itself while I was enjoying a very nice lunch. I couldn’t even turn it off. It was Castilla y Leon day, so I had to wait until the next morning when the tech shop opened, where a kind man unlocked it and didn’t charge, just offered a Buen Camino and sent me on my way.
Heading up steeply towards the church of Santa Maria del Azogue and the Castillo in Puebla de Sanabria.

I had planned on skipping a couple of very challenging stages at this point, by taking a train from Puebla de Sanabria to A Gudiña, as indicated by Rome2Rio, and walking on from there. However the train no longer exists, so I had to wait for an afternoon bus, then take a taxi to Campobecerros, where I took this photo.

It’s a local public holiday in Burgos today, we had hoped to visit the Museum of Human Evolution but it is closed today! We have visited the Cathedral three times in the past but decided to go again. It is such an amazing place and we really enjoyed visiting again. The photo below is from the museum part of the Cathedral, with label.

Long day but again cooler perfect walking weather. We got to the top of the hill from Castrojeriz in just under an hour which we were quite pleased about
. We must have gained some fitness over the last couple of months! The diversion around the road/bridge construction work on the Canal added about a kilometre to our days walk, unfortunately.
A wonderful view across the valley before our descent.
