Azofra
Le Camino de Santiago s'étend de la France à la cathédrale de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle, en Espagne, et traverse de nombreuses villes et localités.
Pour ceux qui n'ont pas encore fait le voyage à pied, des albergues sont mises à la disposition des pèlerins. Elles offrent des repas, des douches, un endroit où reposer ses pieds fatigués, et bien d'autres choses encore.
Certains sont étonnants, d'autres un peu basiques.
J'ai parcouru ce tronçon de la Camino Frances many times from St Jean Pied du Port and have always stopped in this little village as it’s been so welcoming.
The municipal albergue even has a small plunge pool here for chilling out in the afternoons with a cold beer !
Here’s some helpful advice for selecting the best Albergues in Azofra so you can make the most of your time on The Camino Frances and this fantastic small village.
Azofra is a small town in the province of La Rioja, located on the Camino Francés, one of the most popular pilgrimage routes of the Camino de Santiago. There are only about 400 inhabitants living in the village full time.
The town of Azofra has a rich history that spans over two millennia. It was founded by the Romans and was known as “Ausebro” during their rule and was an important stop along the route to Burgos.
The town’s location along the River Tuerto made it an important trading post, and it continued to be a strategic location throughout the Middle Ages.

Azofra is a small village that is located in a rural area of northern Spain, and as such, it offers a small range of activities that are centered around village, its history and the local culture.
Here are some of things you can do when stopping here:

The church is located in the heart of the town and is a popular place of pilgrimage for those walking the Camino.
Explore the Village: Azofra is a small village on the Camino de Santiago but it is worth taking some time to explore the local streets and stone houses as well as the ancient church in the centre of the village.
Wine tasting: Azofra is in the Rioja region so take some time out to have a good bottle of wine and enjoy relaxing with other Pilgrims.
Gastronomie: The local cuisine of Azofra is based on traditional recipes and ingredients and there are restaurants in the village that offer delicious regional dishes.
People watching: Sometimes its just great to watch Pilgrims as they walk through the village. You will nearly always see someone you have talked to before.
