El Burgo Ranero

The Burgo Ranero is one of the most traditional stops on the leonese section of the Camino Francés. This town, whose name evokes its past as a refuge place, is characterized by its traditional adobe and tapial architecture, perfectly adapted to the climate of the meseta. Its village-street structure, with a long main road that coincides with the Jacobean route, guides the pilgrim through the locality. The church of St Peter and the ancient underground cellars are part of its charm. For the walker, El Burgo Ranero is an oasis of hospitality offering cozy hostels and essential services. It's the perfect place to experience rural Castile's quiet life and to recharge before facing the final stages leading up to the monumental city of León.
