Camino de Santiago from Burgos

The Camino de Santiago from Burgos departs from the Gothic capital of Spain and ends in the interesting Mudéjar town of Sahagún. The tour takes place along the Castilian plateau, characterized by its immense plains, making it an ideal route for all those who do not want to cross great slopes.

On the stages that separate the city of Burgos from Sahagún, the almost infinite straights and the huge expanses of cereal crops make up ochre landscapes that seem to be have taken from the world of dreams. Surrounded by this environment, you can visit three provinces of Castilla: Burgos, Palencia and León.

El Camino from Burgos is an exciting route in which, in addition to enjoying nature, you can visit picturesque agricultural villages. Throughout the tour, numerous buildings and monuments of various styles (Gothic, Romanesque, Mudéjar, etc.) will come across your path.

    From Burgos to Hornillos del Camino
    Unlike other cities, departure from Burgos is quite rapid. In the blink of an eye, you will find yourself walking in the middle of fields in Castile, surrounded by crops of cereals.
    Today you will cross various rivers and streams. During the tour, you can visit villages such as Tardajos, where we recommend taking refuge in the shadow of the Church of the Asunción de Nuestra Señora, or Rabé de las Calzadas, in which the tower of an old palace welcomes all pilgrims.

    Following the trails over the lands of León, you will reach the stone bridge that crosses the River Valderabuey, where you can choose between two paths to reach Sahagún. We advise you to take the road that crosses the national road, as you can enjoy walking through a wooded environment and visiting the Virgen de la Puente Chapel.

    Distance: 22 kilometres.
