Highlights

Logrono

Logrono

The capital of La Rioja, this city has grown in prominence over the centuries due to the Camino passing through. It is the passing pilgrims, artisans, and merchants that have shaped this city and their influence is evident in the built heritage of the city. One such example is the Cathedral of Santa María la Redonda. Logrono also hosts the San Mateo Festival, which celebrates the upcoming harvest season, every September.

San Juan de Ortega Monastery

This little hamlet, despite its sparseness in services, has and continues to be a must-stop destination 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 built by San Juan after he was saved by San Nicolas from drowning upon returning from a pilgrimage to the Holy Lands.

Solar Eclipse in Burgos

On August 12th, something truly magical will happen in Burgos: as your days on the Camino comes to a close, the sky will darken as a total solar eclipse passes over the city. For a few unforgettable minutes, the moon will completely cover the sun, and day will briefly turn into night. Experiencing this rare and powerful moment at the end of your journey adds an extraordinary layer of meaning to your Camino. Whether you’re a passionate stargazer or simply lucky enough to be walking through Burgos that day, you’ll witness a spectacle few people ever get to see in their lifetime. Pilgrims and locals will gather in awe, so be sure to find a good viewing spot, put on your eclipse glasses, and get ready for a truly unforgettable Camino memory.
