Pilgrim Insight

The Albergue de Peregrinos in Hornillos del Camino is a classic and dependable choice on the Camino Francés, especially after leaving the city of Burgos and entering the quieter plains. Its central location in the village, right beside the church and the trail, makes it easy to find and a strong option for resting up.

The volunteer hospitaleros and the simple, warm atmosphere reflect the traditional pilgrim spirit. With beds at about €13-15, you get value for money and the essential comforts: hot showers, Wi-Fi, bike storage, and a communal kitchen for snacks. The shared dorms are modest and often full—arriving early is wise—so if you’re looking for peace, planning ahead helps.

While it’s not luxury, that’s part of its charm: a genuine Camino stop where you meet fellow walkers, share stories, and wake up ready for the next leg.
