In den letzten drei Jahrzehnten haben Ausgrabungen stattgefunden, um mehr über unsere Vorgeschichte zu erfahren. In den Höhlen außerhalb der Stadt wurden die Überreste von Frühmenschen entdeckt, von denen einige bis zu 800.000 Jahre alt sind. Die meisten dieser Funde wurden in das Museum der menschlichen Evolution in Burgos gebracht.

Geschichte

Atapuerca ist trotz seiner zahlreichen prähistorischen Funde ein kleiner Außenposten geblieben. Hier verlor König Garcia von Nájera-Pamplona am 1. September 1054 in einer Schlacht gegen seinen Bruder Ferdinand I. von León sein Leben. Der große Stein auf dem Feld vor der Stadt, der sein Ende markiert, wird von den Einheimischen "el fin de rey", also "das Ende des Königs" genannt.

Wegbeschreibung

Von Atapuerca klettert der Camino hinauf in die Atapuerca Berge (eigentlich ein bescheidener Hügel, nicht viel mehr als 100m an Höhe), bevor er wieder hinunter nach Cardeñuela führt.

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.
