All the advice that I have read on driving to Spain suggests
that it is best to take the toll roads over the border. So, after a last French
supermarket shop, it was motorways almost all the way and the €32 in tolls was
well worth it to avoid the mountain roads and to save an hour in journey time.
From sea level just after the border, we climbed continuously through many
tunnels until we arrived in Burgos at 865 metres.
The mountain views were glorious and kept us entertained on the journey. On the
way we stopped at the Monumento al Pastor, a great place for lunch with more
lovely views and impressing rock sculptures.
There is only one campsite in Burgos, Camping Fuentes Blancas, situated just
outside the city. There was plenty of space and we chose a pitch that had very
little mud – they had obviously had some rain recently.

shepherd with a lamb – very suitable for the rural setting.
