As you progress on this section the terrain has more inclines than declines as you move into the mountains. With plenty of shade some light layers would be recommended.

The third section of the Camino Frances starts from Logrono in the heart of the famous Rioja region and finishes in mediaeval Burgos. This section is slightly flatter than the previous one; it crosses the province of Burgos, passing typical villages, vineyards and ruined castles. You will also pass between the Cantabrian and La Demanda mountain ranges, offering stunning views.

Highlights

Logrono

The capital of La Rioja, this city has grown in prominence due to the Camino passing through. It is the passing pilgrims, artisans and merchants that have shaped this city and there influence is evident in the built heritage. One such example is the Cathedral of Santa María la Redonda which is just one of many churhces. The built heritage is not all Lorgono has to offer, as the capital of the La Rioja every September they have the San Mateo Festival which celebrates the upcoming harvest season.

San Juan de Ortega Monastery

This little hamlet despite its sparseness in services has and continues to be a must stop on the Camino. San Juan, a disciple of Santo Domingo worked tirelessly to assist pilgrims passing through this wild and isolated area. The monastery has a beautiful chapel dedicated to San Nicolas de Bari. This chapel was buily by San Juan after he was saved by San Nicolas from drowning upon returning from a pilgrimage to the Holy Lands.

Atapuerca

Here you will find the pre-historic caves that have the oldest human remains found in Europe. A UNESCO Heritage Site that is still being excavated there is a replica of the caves for visitors on the outskirts of town that provide a fascinating insight into our predecessors.

Day 2
28.65km

LOGRONO
to
NAJERA

This first day is an easy stage through a landscape dominated by vineyards. After 12km, you will pass Navarrete, a town built in the 12th Century by the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre. Here, you will have a chance to stop for refreshments and to visit the fabulous Baroque Church of La Ascension. Finally, arriving in Najera in the afternoon, you can enjoy the panoramic views from this hilltop town.

Day 3
21.35km

NAJERA
to
SANTO DOMINGO DE LA CALZADA

Country roads dominate this stage, which runs between the Cantabrian mountain range to the north and the La Demanda mountain range to the south. Enjoy a shorter walking day with great views. There is the possibility to visit the Monastery of Valvanera deep in the middle of the ‘Sierra de la Demanda’. Later today, you will arrive in Santo Domingo de la Calzada; another great milestone on the road to Santiago.

Day 4
21.55km

SANTO DOMINGO DE LA CALZADA
to
BELORADO

After a brief walk through a wooded area, the Camino takes us through crop fields interspersed with small brooks. This landscape warns us of the approaching mountain range and, indeed, we can soon see the Oca Mountains looming on the horizon. This afternoon, you will have the chance to relax in the lovely main square of Belorado. On the route, don’t miss the Altarpiece in the 16th Century church of San Juan Bautista, in Granon.

Day 5
24km

BELORADO
to
SAN JUAN DE ORTEGA

Until you get to Villafranca Montes de Oca (14km away), this stage is similar to the previous one. However, as you go deeper into the woods, you will soon discover the beautiful Oca Mountains before you. In St Juan de Ortega, have a look at the Gothic Mausoleum.

Day 6
24.93km

SAN JUAN DE ORTEGA
to
BURGOS

After a quiet sojourn in the mountains you will make your way down into the valley of the Pico River. Here, the tranquil landscapes disappear, making way for the roads and buildings that characterise the provincial capital city of Burgos and its outskirts.

Day 7

BURGOS

After breakfast we bid you farewell. Burgos still preserves important vestiges of its mediaeval splendour. The city, which was the capital of the unified kingdom of Castilla-Leon for five centuries, boasts a masterpiece of Spanish Gothic architecture; the Cathedral of Burgos (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Apart from a visit to the historic quarter, you can take quite walk along the banks of the Duero and Arlanza rivers or discover the delicious and varied local cuisine in one of the city’s restaurants.
