El Burgo Ranero
Camino de Santiago stage town on Camino Francés
El Burgo Ranero is a classic Meseta village in León province, strung along the pilgrim street with traditional adobe houses of mud and straw and shaded, poplar-lined tracks. A resting point for pilgrims since the Middle Ages, it takes its name from the frogs (ranas) of its former marshes and today offers albergues, bars, a shop and a pharmacy. Pilgrims stop here to break the long, flat, shadeless stretch between Sahagún and León into manageable days.
