Belorado logra mantener algunas de sus ventajas, pero los tiempos difíciles ciertamente han pasado factura. Un paseo por las calles perimetrales revelará una infraestructura que se desmorona rápidamente. En la ladera se encuentran los restos de un castillo.

Varias iglesias permanecen y los hospicios han sido reemplazados por muchos albergues modernos. La plaza principal es un buen lugar para esconderse del sol si te apetece descansar.

Haz como los lugareños y evita los restaurantes en la plaza principal; una de las mejores opciones para cenar es en el restaurante del albergue Cuatro Cantones.

La Iglesia de Santa María tiene un retablo que representa a Santiago como peregrino y como morisco.

Fiesta

La Fiesta de San Vítores se celebra el 26 de agosto, y el Día de Acción de Gracias se celebra el primer fin de semana de septiembre. La Virgen de Belén se celebra el 25 de enero.

History

Después de una larga serie de pueblos casi abandonados, Belorado es una maravilla. Una vez más tenemos geografía que agradecer; Belorado se encuentra justo en medio de un estrecho paso que atraviesa dos laderas. La diferencia de altitud es pequeña, menos de 200 m, pero las colinas son lo suficientemente empinadas como para proporcionar cierta protección y ventaja de lucha. Estaba bien desarrollado antes de la llegada de Santo Domingo con su habilidad para colocar ciudades en un eje este-oeste. En un momento dado, la ciudad contaba con 8 iglesias, un próspero mercado y 2 hospicios de peregrinos.

También cabe destacar las cuevas que salpican la ladera aquí. Atrajeron a un número no insignificante de ermitaños a la zona, muchos de los cuales se hicieron bien conocidos. Santo Domingo eligió una vida de ermita cuando fue rechazado del monasterio, y otras órdenes como la de St. Millán también comenzó con un solo ermitaño que habitaba en cuevas.

We walked 8km before finding a spot at the tavern!

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
