Crossing the wide plains of the Meseta, this episode follows the quiet lessons found between Burgos and Sahagún, where wheat fields, Roman roads, medieval villages, and unexpected kindness shape the inner journey as much as the kilometres walked.

From the hidden village of Hontanas to the hilltop ruins above Castrojeriz, this stretch of the Camino has long offered rest, reflection, and refuge. Along the way, the personal planetary influences of Mercury, Saturn, the Moon, Chiron, and Jupiter wove their own subtle threads through each encounter, each challenge, and each small blessing.

You’ll hear how history, landscape, and astrocartography met across Tierra de Campos, and how simple moments , a shepherd guiding his flock, a sunrise at Alto de Mostelares, a pilgrim’s generosity, or a stamp from Pepe by the Río Ucieza, carried a meaning far deeper than their appearance.

In this second episode of Destined Places: Where Location Matters, Soul Travel Series, I continue along the Camino de Santiago as the pace of the walk shifts and the deeper layers of the journey begin to unfold. From the symbolic streets of Belorado to the grand medieval heart of Burgos, this is a chapter shaped by rest, reflection, and the subtle pull of the celestial influences.

I share the moments that stood out, the scallop shells guiding the way, the murals honouring centuries of pilgrims, and the joy of finally settling into Burgos for two restful nights. There’s history etched into every stone here, from the Gothic splendour of the cathedral to the story of El Cid, ancient monasteries, and the quiet corners where pilgrims pause to breathe.

On the astrological side, Saturn and Neptune weave a gentle lesson of balance: structure meeting imagination, stillness meeting purpose. Conversations flow with ease under Mercury’s tone, while the Moon calls for rest and Mars keeps the feet moving, to explore this magical historic city. It’s a place where inner and outer landscapes meet, and a reminder that the Camino is not simply walked; it’s lived, felt, and revealed.

Join me for a journey through Burgos’ history, its spiritual resonance, and the moments of presence that make this stage of the Camino unforgettable.

Where to next?
From here, I step into the long, open expanse of the Meseta, but for now, this episode is all about embracing the present moment.

Buen Camino

Until next time, remember: location truly matters.

In this first Soul Travel episode, I’m beginning with a simple whisper: it’s time to go for a walk. A whisper that led me across northern Spain on a five week pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago.

In this story, I share the early steps of the journey, walking from Roncesvalles through villages, plains, and historic towns steeped in beauty, resilience, and deep cultural memory. From ancient Celtic pathways to Roman roads still carrying pilgrims today, the Camino reveals history beneath every footstep.

You’ll hear about the peaceful stretches of Navarra, the vibrant streets of Pamplona, the Romanesque grace of Queens Bridge, the wine fountain at Irache, and the quiet companionship found in small hostels (Albergues) and village squares.

Alongside the outer journey, I reflect on my Saturn rising line in astrocartography and the inner call to presence, strength, and self awareness. One step after another, the Camino becomes an initiation, an awakening of the heart shaped by the land and those who walked before us.
