The Camino from Logrono to Burgos

The Camino from Logrono to Burgos, a lovely section of the Camino Frances, is perfect for a week on the Camino, especially if you’ve already walked the last 100km from Sarria to Santiago. Starting in Logroño, capital of the famous La Rioja wine region, make sure to spend some time exploring this fantastic city and treating yourself to the most delicious ‘tapas’ in the lively Calle del Laurel before you start your journey. The city is also home to many artisan ice cream makers so you are in for another treat!

This is a great Camino for wine lovers and foodies alike as the towns along this section of the Camino offer a wonderful selection of fresh Spanish produce and home-grown wines. September is a wonderful time to do the Camino from Logrono with the Fiesta de la Vendimia Riojana, the Rioja Grape Harvest Festival.

This is the perfect Camino for those that would like to experience the Camino Frances on slightly easier terrain and enjoy delicious food and wine treats as you go.

Walking the Camino from Logrono

On this section of the Camino de Santiago, the terrain becomes easier than in the previous stages of the French Way. You will walk across undulating farmland and vineyards, passing castles, monasteries, and charming medieval villages.

One of the highlights of this section of the Camino is the town of Santo Domingo de la Calzada with its historic centre, an important stop for pilgrims on the Camino since the Middle Ages. You will finish your Camino walk in majestic Burgos, home of ‘El Cid’ and considered by many the Gothic capital of Spain.

In Burgos, you shouldn’t miss the magnificent cathedral, possibly the most beautiful Gothic building in the country, and experience the local ‘tapas’ scene in the old town.
