Wise Pilgrim APPFrom Castañares, the river route continues into Burgos along the Río Arlanzón. Finding the path can be tricky — businesses repaint yellow arrows regularly to divert pilgrims toward their establishments. The key: the river route descends toward the river. If you're heading uphill toward the road, you've gone wrong.
Once you find the riverside path, the walking is pleasant — tree-lined, flat, and a world away from the traffic on the road above. The path follows the river all the way into the center of Burgos, passing parks and eventually arriving at the bridges near the cathedral.
A couple of bars in Castañares provide a last stop before the final stretch into the city.
