Depuis une bonne partie des trois dernières décennies, des fouilles sont en cours pour en savoir plus sur notre préhistoire. Dans les grottes situées à l'extérieur de la ville, des restes des premiers humains ont été découverts ; certains remontent à 800 000 ans. La plupart des découvertes ont été transférées au Musée de l'évolution humaine à Burgos.

History

Atapuerca, ses prolifiques découvertes préhistoriques mises à part, reste un petit avant-poste. C'est ici que le roi Garcia de Nájera-Pamplona a perdu la vie lors d'une bataille contre son frère Ferdinand Ier de León le 1er septembre 1054. La grande borne en pierre dans le champ avant la ville qui marque sa fin ; les locaux l'appellent "el fin de rey', ou "la fin du roi".

The Road

Depuis Atapuerca, le camino monte dans les montagnes d'Atapuerca (en fait une modeste colline, pas beaucoup plus de 100 m de gain) avant de redescendre dans Cardeñuela.

You must stay here! Best albergue atmosphere yet on the Camino. Estrella is simply wonderful. She is a pilgrim too and understands what we need. Amazing space & communal dinner 👍👍

Please add Albergue INpulso Atapuerca to this app. It is a fabulous place to stay. The owner is a pilgrim and has thought of everything in renovating this former restaurant/hotel. It is clean, organized, has a lovely ambience and Estrella, the owner, is very welcoming.

We stayed at the Hotel Rural Papasal while on the Camino Santiago. We had reserved with Maria (the wife of the husband/wife team owners) via a few WhatsApp texts and a WhatsApp phone call from the states months before. All was completely set for our stay and they couldn’t have been more accommodating and kind. The hotel is a lovely old pension they purchased in 2021. The room was clean, the bed comfortable, and shower hot. We had the Menu of the Day that was delicious as well as the breakfast. We totally recommend staying here.

At the end of town, Meson Las Cuevas has an excellent pilgrim menu with great 1st and second choices for 13 euro weekdays.
Good atmosphere and great service. Worth the short walk.

The close restaurant, Comosapians, with the great reviews is closed.

Town shop was open in the morning and evening (not during siesta time). On the main road, on a corner. Not amazing but you can pick up some basics.

We stayed the night and had dinner at the Hotel Papasol. It’s under new ownership since 2020. The husband and wife are extremely friendly and helpful. The accommodations were clean and comfortable and the home cooked dinner was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed the one night stay there.
