Camino francés from Logroño to Burgos
CAMINO FRANCES from Logroño to Burgos.
The French route from Logroño to Burgos begins in the capital “La Rioja” and is therefore the wine capital of this designation of origin, one of the most famous in the world. In the first stages we hike through landscapes with olive groves, almond trees and of course vineyards.
Logroño, our starting point:
The entire historic center of Logroño preserves traces of the city’s important Jacobean tradition, in which the arrival of 11th century pilgrims was fundamental to its development. Proof of this are monuments such as the pilgrims’ fountain. The city of Logroño was already mentioned in the Calixtino Codex, which is considered the first travel guide on the Camino de Santiago. Of course, on the first day of our trip, it is important to take a stroll down the famous Laurel Street.
The French way from Logroño to Burgos leads in the part that goes through La Rioja through areas with some ups and downs. As soon as we leave La Rioja to enter Castilla León, the ground becomes flatter when we enter the plateau. On the way from Logroño to Burgos we won’t find any major climbs and descents as this is a very flat section of the French way. For example, in the first stage we find “Alto de la Grajera” and Alto de San Antón, the climbs of which are quite progressive.
In this section of the French route from Logroño to Burgos we also walk through another city with a great Jacobean tradition, Santo Domingo de la Calzada. The historic center, with medieval streets and a magnificent wall, is of national historical interest.
In the penultimate phase we pass the well-known Atapuerca deposit.
Because in the city of Burgos we can opt for the river. The traditional layout has turned into an industrial area which is a little less pleasant for walking.
At our destination the city of Burgos awaits us, one of the top works of Spanish Gothic. The magnificent Burgos Cathedral, a must-see once we have completed this section of the French Way.
The arrival in León is not the end, but a break on the way, which must continue until we reach Santiago de Compostela.
¡BUEN CAMINO!
Logroño
Logroño is the capital of La Rioja, a community whose name is linked to one of the highest quality wine designations of origin. In addition, the city of Logroño has been, for centuries, one of the most important cities of the Jacobean tradition and, in its old town, you can find important vestiges of pilgrims from the 11th century. On this first day of your Camino we recommend yo to take a walk along Laurel Street to taste a good wine with some tapas.
Acommodation in Logroño.
Logroño-Nájera
Difficulty level: medium.
In today’s stage we find two important climbs, the Alto de la Grajera and the Alto de San Antón. The good news is that both are rising fairly evenly, and therefore are not very difficult.
Accommodation in Nájera.
Nájera-Santo Domingo de la Calzada
Difficulty level: easy.
We will hike between rural and paved trails, which in turn will be a fairly comfortable stage. The vineyards that have accompanied us in the past few days will gradually give way to grain fields. The end of the day will be in Santo Domingo de la Calzada, one of the cities with the longest tradition and the Jacobean footprint, whose historical center is made up of medieval streets
Accommodation in Santo Domingo de la Calzada.
Santo Domingo de la Calzada-Belorado
Difficulty level: easy.
In this stage we leave La Rioja and drive to Castilla León. Despite two stops, La Grajera and San Antón, it will be another pleasant day on the Way of St. James, as the ascent is very even. Once in Belorado, we see the last mountains before entering the large Castilian plateau.
Accommodation in Belorado.
Belorado-Atapuerca
Difficulty level: medium.
This will be a stage with a very quiet first part, which leads through nature trails. When we reach the Montes de Oca we will find an easy one with a height difference of 200 meters, although we have to start to take into account that we have already spent ten days on our feet. Shortly before Atapuerca we pass San Juan de Ortega, a jewel of the Spanish Gothic.
Accommodation in Atapuerca.
Atapuerca-Burgos
Difficulty level: medium.
The Sierra de Atapuerca offers us a good view of the surroundings and a very pleasant and quite comfortable route. We pass one of the most important archaeological sites in the world. Access to the city of Burgos via the river path is recommended, much more pleasant than the possibility of walking through the industrial area. Once in the city, a visit to the Gothic cathedral is essential.
