Spectacular gorge and entrance to the Castilian tableland on the Via de Bayona. A geographical landmark of great beauty and a challenge for the pilgrim in Burgos' territory.

Discover Pancorbo

Pancorbo, a Burgalese village nestled in a spectacular gorge, is one of the most impressive stages from a scenic point of view on the Way of St. James (Camino Vasco del Interior). This natural passageway, carved by the Oroncillo River, has been an strategic entry point to the Castilian tableland since ancient times. For pilgrims, crossing Pancorbo gorge, surrounded by imposing rock formations, is a breathtaking experience. The locality, of medieval origin, preserves remnants of its old fortress and mountain village atmosphere. Although it's a small population, it offers basic services for weary travelers. The difficulty of the stage, which involves overcoming the Brújula Pass, is rewarded by the wild beauty of the surroundings. In the Camino de Santiago, Pancorbo is a geographical landmark marking the transition from more mountainous landscapes to vast plains of Castile, a place that connects pilgrims with nature's force and history of ancient communication routes.
