Belorado formår at bevare nogle af sine fordele, men de hårde tider har bestemt sat sine spor. En tur rundt i de omkringliggende gader afslører en hurtigt smuldrende infrastruktur. På bjergskråningen ligger resterne af et slot.

Der er mange restauranter på torvet, og en anden (en af de bedre muligheder for middag) på Cuatro Cantones albergue.

Iglesia de Santa María har en altertavle, der forestiller Santiago både som pilgrim og som maurerdræber.

Fiesta

Fiestaen i San Vitores afholdes den 26. august, og Thanksgiving afholdes den første weekend i september. La Virgen de Belén fejres den 25. januar.

History

Efter en lang række næsten forladte landsbyer er Belorado noget af et vidunder. Endnu en gang kan vi takke geografien; Belorado ligger lige midt i et smalt pas, der skærer gennem to bjergsider. Højdeforskellen er lille, mindre end 200 meter, men bakkerne er stejle nok til at give en vis beskyttelse og kampfordel. Den var veludviklet, før Santo Domingo ankom med sin evne til at placere byer på en øst-vest-akse. På et tidspunkt kunne byen prale af 8 kirker, et blomstrende marked og 2 pilgrimshospicer.

Også værd at bemærke er de huler, der findes på bakkesiden her. De tiltrak et ikke ubetydeligt antal eremitter til området, og mange af dem blev meget kendte. Santo Domingo valgte et liv som eremit, da han blev afvist fra klosteret, og andre ordener som St. Millán begyndte også med en enkelt eremit, der boede i en hule.

We had the loveliest stay at hostal punto b! It was extremely empty (Nov) and very very little in town was open for dinner (pre-made pizzas), but our host cooked for us (14 euro) and it was INCREDIBLE. He is also offering an a La carte breakfast. Their kitchen for public use is closed but the hostel is extremely clean, updated and bright but still retaining much of the old character and exposed beams etc. would 100% recommend. The single beds in the communal area also looked beautifully laid out and divided, however they are not offered in winter. Ours was a spacious double with private bathroom (56 euro) and they also had singles (42) doubles triples and quads!

What a treat to discover this place. I had the best 45 minute massage. Book via WhatsApp (I booked a day in advance). Cash preferred. I have been trying to find massage on trail with no real luck but this place is right next to the albuerges in town and was a gem of a discovery.

Had an excellent menú del día here (kitchen opens at 1p). The fish was fresh and served with salad (actual mixed greens!) and had a lovely tiramisu for dessert. Highly recommend for a great lunch.

We walked for 9km before finding a breakfast spot in Espinosa. Don't rely on the first 2 villages for refreshments. There is a Repsol garage on the way out of Belorado (on the camino) that sells crisps, nuts, packaged doughnuts etc, fresh coffee to take away, although no fresh food. Toilets are there too.

Comfortable and clean room with private bathroom. Communal kitchen with microwave and washing machine. Big terrace for drying clothes and relaxing.

Wonderful home-cooked pilgrims meal, 3 courses with bottle of delicious wine for 14€pp, in a lovely indoor restaurant. There's also a patio dining area for when the weather's warmer.

A young helpful and hospitable couple run the place.

Stop at the monastery about 10 minutes from the center of Belorado - the nuns make and sell award winning (and delicious) chocolate.

Great stay in Quintanilla de Monte. Do not pass this place up for a wonderful Camino stay. Just outside of Belorado.
Out host Ana was amazing and Mommy made wonderful homemade meals. Beds were very comfortable. Not your typical Camino stay of the hustle and bustle. Very relaxing.

Me and my family stayed in hotel a santiago. The pool and pizza were amazing. The service and staff were very nice. Unfortunately saw a man steal from a shop in town and ran into him again at the hotel. He passive aggressively threatened us with a butter knife. He wasnt a pilgrim but staying at the hotel, so just keep an eye out.

We are sat on the sun watching the storks on the church tower, having had a lunch that was simply delicious. This hotel/restaurant provides rooms and delicious food. Just what was required for tired peregrinos
