Camino Bound

Saint Jean Pied de Port to Burgos

The route from Saint Jean Pied de Port to Burgos offers lush terrain from the Pyrennes mountains in eastern Spain  to soft rolling hills and crops of grains, sunflowers, and wildflowers.

SJPDP is a lovely French town that is the starting point of the Camino Frances.  There are many amenities for pilgrims in town and two very well stocked pilgrim stores where you can find several of your needs.

Your journey from Saint Jean Pied de Port to Burgos leads you over the Pyrennes mountains in the southeast of France where you will cross into Spain at the font commemorated to Roland before descending into Roncesvalles. The French Road leads you through many important cities before you reach the big city of Burgos like Pamplona, Puente la Reina, Estella, Logrono, Najera, Santo Domingo, and Belorado.

While in Burgos we suggest visiting the world-class museum of Human Evolution and the breathtaking Burgos Cathedral along with dozens of other must-see historical sites.  The nightlife is vibrant and the cuisine exquisite. This town offers lots of places to rest, watch the world go by, explore the culture and history before you head to your next destination.
