Bercianos del Real Camino

León

An adobe-and-straw village on the open meseta — and home to a beloved donativo parish albergue.

A short history

Bercianos's earthen-walled houses were built from the very meseta soil pilgrims walk through. Its parroquial albergue, run by volunteers, is a famous Camino fixture for its communal dinner and morning send-off.
