Pilgrims on the road and friends along the way send me changes every day, and they go out the same day. The Camino de Invierno app carries all of it offline, and it's still being built — new features arrive routinely.
Get the appEspinosa has seen better days. Even with centuries of passing pilgrims, the village struggles to maintain a presence. In recent years, a few buildings have been rehabilitated into an albergue and a bar, which is more than many villages this size can claim.
The ruins of the Monasterio de San Félix de Oca are nearby — little remains, but the site has early medieval significance as one of the oldest monastic foundations in the region.

Had a great stay here. Had the pilgrim dinner which really made the evening (and there is really nothing else in the village).
Our host Antonio really made the stay special.
Very recommended

Very friendly hosts! They make a variety of tostadas with a variety of vegetables as well!
Excellent coffee.
My stomach is a food snob, it’s hard to impress me- the food at this place is wholesome and tasty.

I highly recommend staying here. The hospitality is amazing. Superb food! Super clean. Loved the cotton sheets, towel and even a hand towel. Freshly made lemonade on arrival and also a great yard to chill out in. We received excellent information and tips for the Camino. We left well rested and rejuvenated!

Finding an incredible Albergue La Taberna de Espinosa is an unforgettable experience. The dedicated couple who run this Albergue goes above and beyond. Their hospitality extends to the entire town, which gathers at the end of the day for a beer, a glass of wine, and today’s stories in the cozy, welcoming atmosphere.

Delicious tostadas - garlic mushroom and cheese, and ham and cheese. You can also buy fruit here.

Desde el mes de mayo El Albergue y Taberna está de nuevo abierto. Gestionado por Rive y Adela. Con mucha comida rica y sana para sorprender a peregrinos y visitantes, y con muchas ganas de arrojar hospitalidad y buenas memorias durante su estancia en el Albergue.
Nos vemos en Espinosa.

A very clean alburgue with a really good dinner for 12 euros. Our room 5 bunks and was a liitle cramped but the pilgrims in our room worked it out. 2 showers and 2 toilets for 10 people worked out fine. The small quiet town was a great stop for us before sending a couple of days in Burgos. My wife and I would stay there again.

Sabine and Ulrich used to run the albergue Das Animas in Ambasmestas and I’m very glad they’ve continued to be of service on the Camino in Espinosa del Camino. To stay with them is an absolute treat.

I walked through this village at 11am and the bar of La Taberna was open for drinks and snacks.

Another option! Decent 6-bed rooms (3 bunks) upstairs, clean bathrooms, cooking facilities, laundry facilities, and dinner/ breakfast available for an extra fee. As we left we saw pilgrims coming in from elsewhere for breakfast.

What a gem! This small Albuerge is run by a German couple who have equipped it nicely with the pilgrim in mind. They greet you with a drink (warm herbal tea in the rain!) and assisted getting things hung to dry. There was even a shoe dryer. There are 4 single beds in the room, each with its own locker large enough to hold your backpack, a socket, individual bed lamps, a shelf, and all bed linens and towels were included. Wi-Fi quality was good. Washer and dryer are available for a fee. The meals were outstanding and beautifully presented - homemade vegetable soup followed by a lovely pasta carbonara and a trifle dessert beautifully plated. Breakfast with homemade breads, yogurt, jams, a warm soft boiled egg in a nice egg cup, hams and cheese. The care taken to make the guests feel at home and taken care of was truly exceptional - it truly was like being asked into someone’s home and being treated as special guests. It was such a nice welcome for a couple muddy, wet, and cold pilgrims.
