The Camino de Santiago from Logrono to Burgos is part of the third section on the Camino Frances. The third section of the Camino Frances runs from Logrono to Burgos.
Have an unforgettable experience on the Camino de Santiago from Logrono! Logrono is the capital of the La Rioja region, which is famous for its exquisite wines.
In this section, we will feel how the level of difficulty decreases with respect to the first and second stages of the Camino Frances. We will able to visit farmlands and vineyards, beautiful medieval castles, spectacular monasteries and unique villages with a special charm.
One of the most interesting stops during this section of the Camino Frances is undoubtedly the city of Santo Domingo de la Calzada and its false old town centre.
This section ends in the beautiful city of Burgos, the birthplace of “El Cid”. Burgos is known for being the Gothic capital of Spain.
We will begin section 3 of the Camino Frances in the capital of the La Rioja region, famous for its amazing wines. Before starting section 3 of the Camino Frances we must visit Logrono’s historic old quarter, its cathedral and the city’s churches.
We also recommend heading over to Calle Laurel and trying some of its delicious tapas. Logrono is also known for its delicious homemade ice creams.
Overnight: Logroño
Despite being a long route, this section is fairly easy. We will depart from Logrono passing through the ‘Puerta del Camino’ gate. During the first few hours of the day we will be able to see the vineyards of the La Rioja region.
The first stop on this route will be in Navarrete, a 12th century town built by the “Knights of the Holy Sepulchre”. In Navarrete we can visit the Baroque Church of La Ascension. We will continue to Najera where we will spend the night.

The third route will be significantly shorter than the previous one and we will get to enjoy incredible views along the entire way. Once we leave the town of Najera, we will make our way along rural paths until reaching the Sierra de la Demanda mountain. Then we will pass through the small town of Azofra.
Azofra is dedicated to the patroness of La Rioja; the Virgen of Valvanera. Azofra is also known as the starting point for the “Route of the Monasteries”. The Route of the Monasteries is not actually part of the Camino de Santiago, but it is worth doing if we have a few extra days, especially visiting the monasteries of Yuso and Suso in San Millan de la Cogolla.
Finally, we will arrive at Santo Domingo de la Calzada, a beautiful town with a medieval centre that historically has been closely tied to the Camino de Santiago.
Length: 21,5 km
Overnight: Santo Domingo de la Calzada
The start of today’s route passes through forests until we reach farmland. As we approach Belorado, we can begin to catch a glimpse of the Oca mountains, these mountains are the last mountain range before reaching the Meseta (plateau). Then we will arrive at Belorado, a small and pleasant town in the province of Burgos.
In Belorado we can visit the Church of Santa Maria where we can see images of Santiago.
Length: 22,5 km
Overnight: Belorado
The walk from Belorado to San Juan de Ortega is a peaceful route along quiet paths and nature trails. As we get closer to “Villafranca Montes de Oca”, we will start heading into beautiful forests of oak and pine trees. In San Juan de Ortega we have to visit the Mausoleum.
Length: 23,5 km
Overnight: San Juan de Ortega
The sixth route of section 3 on the Camino Frances takes place on mountainous terrain in the Sierra de Atapuerca mountains, from where we can get excellent views of the entire region of Burgos. We will cross the town of Atapuerca, world famous for its prehistoric caves that have been classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
The first human remains were discovered here in the Atapuerca caves. After beginning our descent, we will reach the outskirts of the city of Burgos, where we can visit one of the most beautiful cathedrals in Spain.

You also have to bear in mind that the great beauty of its attractive spots can make us feel like staying more than we had planned by enjoying a view or particular surroundings.
We want to break down the different months of the year to tell you what are the advantages and disadvantages of each one. It must be said that, ultimately, it will all depend on each pilgrim’s own preferences. However, we want to remind you that with Santiago Ways it is possible to book the Camino Frances de Santiago from Logrono and other options at any time of the year.
The month of January has the advantage of leaving us some days off before the end of the Christmas break. That is why this is a time that more and more pilgrims choose to also enjoy the beauty of this festive season along the route of the Camino de Santiago.
In February the temperatures go up a little, so the route can become more enjoyable, especially in the coastal areas. We recommend, however, to be aware of the possible precipitations that may fall during this month.
In March, spring is definitely approaching in its fullness and the temperature is mild, except in the high-altitude areas. The landscape is dyed in many colours and is a perfect time for nature lovers.
April, as an alternative, is, gaining many followers because during this month Holy Week is celebrated which, on many occasions, leaves us enough free days to be able to make the Camino Frances de Santiago from Logrono.
In May, weather instability can be encountered and increase the risk of precipitation. However, it is a month that brings together the best conditions of the spring in terms of temperature.
In the month of June, already in the summer, is when many pilgrims are encouraged to enjoy the experience of the Camino de Santiago from Logroño. It is a good time because the holidays start and there are not too many crowds.
The main attraction of the month of July is its festivities. The festivities in Pamplona are from the 6th to the 14th of July and the festivities in Santiago de Compostela between 15th and 31st. That encourages many pilgrims to do the Camino and go to enjoy them if they have already started their route on previous stages.
Definitely, August is one of the most popular months. It is because it is the time when people have more free time to go on a pilgrimage. At the same time, in the north of Spain, the temperatures are milder, so it is a good idea to escape the heat to enjoy the freshness of the north.
In September the landscape of the Camino Frances from Logroño to Burgos begins to change. It is stained with beautiful colours and is the favourite time for the most romantic.
Just like in the previous month, October is one of the favourites for those who appreciate the beauty of the autumn season. However, it is necessary to be prepared for the potential risk of rainfall.
In November the ravages of winter begin to be noticed. However, it is also a beautiful time where we can enjoy the beautiful prints that, for example, that are offered by the city and the province of Burgos.
There are many pilgrims who make the Camino during this month captured by the beauty of Christmas and the intention to spend these holidays living the incredible experience of the Camino Frances de Santiago from Logroño to Burgos.
We have also prepared a selection of the most emblematic places of this route. These include some monuments, some historical sites and, of course, hotels where you can rest and the best restaurants.
In Najera, this emblematic town on the Camino, we can find points of great monumental and historical interest like the Monastery of Santa Maria La Real. Also, if you have some time left, we recommend you to visit the caves that are located near this beautiful area of La Rioja.
It is another of the most recommended towns on the Camino Frances de Santiago from Logrono. There, we must highlight the beauty of its cathedral, whose style is predominantly Renaissance, but also has many Gothic elements.
As could not be otherwise, we recommend visiting in its entirety the old town centre in the city of Burgos. It is a city whose history begins in the Middle Ages.

La Parrilla Arcaya: In this case, we want to talk about a grill that can offer us the best in terms of meat. It is located in the beautiful municipality of Santo Domingo de la Calzada and offers an excellent opportunity to treat ourselves a little on our pilgrimage.
Restaurante Casa Ojeda: it is a typical Burgos house where typical regional food is served. Simple cooking with a lot of flavours and, above all, it is very welcoming. You shouldn’t miss it as a highlight on the Camino Frances to Santiago from Logroño.
The origin of the Camino Frances from Logrono dates back to the same time as the Camino Frances. This begins in the Middle Ages and was born as an alternative to the rugged Camino del Norte.
