Burguete (Auritz in Basque) sits at 890 m in a broad valley, with wide streets lined by traditional Navarrese houses — whitewashed stone with dark timber balconies. The town is little changed since Ernest Hemingway stayed here in 1924 on a fishing trip that would make its way into The Sun Also Rises.
The Hotel Burguete (formerly Hotel Juandeaburre) where Hemingway lodged still operates, though it's been modernized. Several bars and restaurants serve the town, and the trout from these rivers still ends up on dinner tables. There's a small grocery shop for supplies.
The architecture here is distinctly Pyrenean — look for the massive stone houses with their wide eaves, designed to shed heavy snow. The parish church of San Nicolás de Bari anchors the village.
San Juan is celebrated June 24-26. An arts festival takes place on the second Sunday of August, and a farming festival on the last Sunday of September.
Watch carefully through town — the camino takes a sharp right turn about halfway through. There are plenty of arrows marking it, but distracted walkers still miss it. The route continues on flat terrain toward Espinal.

Very happy I stayed here. Clean bright and spacious with very kind staff. Lower bunks don’t have enough headroom so opt for an upper if you can. Local pilgrims menus available in 2 or 3 spots and I enjoyed the one I went to.

A lively popular place in the heart of the village. Beer, generous measures of wine, pizzas and a Pilgrim's Menu for 12€. Great!

Our stay here in a private room with bathroom, for 50 euro, was just what we needed after coming down the Pyrenees. The owner was so helpful and accommodating, even offered to drive us to Roncesvalles for dinner when we discovered the only restaurant open was the hotel which didn’t open until 8. The hotel meal was good and cheap though.

Stayed in Burgette in March 2022. Recommend staying at Lorentx albergue. New, clean, big, kind hosts and heated floors. Grocery store was well stocked. Dinner at the bar near the church was easy.

When I reached here, I found none of the restaurants open at supper time, all I had to do was waiting for the meal the hotel provided at 8, it was quite late for pilgrim, but meal was savory and worth for waiting. Also saw the piano which told to be used by Hemingway.
