Da quel che si può vedere l’unica cosa che favorisce la sopravvivenza di El Burgo Ranero è l’economia del cammino; il mercato del grano e della lana che un tempo fornivano il suo sostentamento sono stati rimpiazzati dalla meccanizzazione.

Nonostante la chiesa del paese sia stata derubata dei suoi tesori molto tempo fa (alcuni sono conservati al Museo della Cattedrale di León), la campane suonano ancora e la parrocchia vi si presenta quotidianamente.

Attenzione

Se passate di qui al momento giusto dell’anno (fine maggio), osservate da vicino i nidi di cicogna sulla torre; se sarete fortunati riuscirete a intravedere i cuccioli in attesa del pranzo.

Storia

El Burgo Ranero deve la sua esistenza al grano e alla lana. Dei due, fu il grano (e di conseguenza i granai) a dare al paese il suo nome. Alcuni storici affermano invece che esso derivi dalla stessa radice della parola ‘rana’, animale di cui le paludi ai margini del paese sono piene. Nel X secolo vennero introdotte enormi quantità di pecore, che diventarono la più grande fonte di guadagno della zona. La transumanza delle greggi avveniva da nord, nelle montagne, verso sud, fino ai confini di Extremadura.

Il cammino

Il cammino tra El Burgo e Reliegos percorre un sentiero curato, contornato dagli alberi. Quegli alberi, purtroppo, sono sul lato sbagliato, perciò nei giorni di sole sarete del tutto esposti: portate con voi una sufficiente quantità d’acqua.

Whoever said that the trees are on the wrong (north) side of the path between El Burgo and Riliegos Is dead wrong -- unless several thousand trees have been transplanted since the comment was made. As of yesterday, October 10, 2024, the trees continue along the left (south) side of the path, continuing to shelter pilgrims from the sun

Perhaps the person who made the comment was from Australia and got north and south mixed up.

Stop here — you won’t regret it. The owners are lovely and work hard to make everything special. It is a tiny space but they pack a lot in there!

The cutest shop and family, so helpful. They had gluten free bread, spaghetti and made me a fresh gluten free breakfast sandwich, the best experience so far on the Camino for me !!!

Supermercado market La Tiendina de Sol is such a great shop for food and groceries. Good selection and served with such a smile and genuine friendly owners . They have travel size shampoo , conditioner etc , which seem not so easy to buy , in big supermarkets or pharmacies.

We stopped in this little supermarket and so glad we did! The owners are fantastic and really enjoy serving the pilgrims. So friendly and fun. They made us a couple sandwiches for lunch tomorrow and wrapped them up. Stop by and quench your thirst or fill your belly. This place makes you believe in kindness again!

We saw them today, well, maybe not babies - more like fluffy teenager storks. Lovely!

The truck stop was the best choice ever. Close to the Camino. 10 spotless, soundproof rooms. And, food available 24 hours a day. Good food. One of our best nights on the Camino - ever.
