Finding the Ermita de Santa Brigida

ThingamaBrig · 2024-11-17T20:57:55+0100

I'm a total newbie and could use some help finding this little site so I can take a pic for a friend.
It's near Burgos.
I've found "Approaching Hontanas (Province of Burgos, Castilla y León), there’s a tiny shrine to Santa Brigida (ermita de)" but it doesn't say from which direction, or indicate anything else about the trail.
If I go there - I'd like to see El Arco de San Miguel de Mazarreros, in the area, if it's close.

I've tried wikiloc (I don't have space on my phone for another ap) without luck, but that could be because I don't know how to use it well enough. Is there anyone out there who could help me find it?
I'd have to take a train or bus to the region first, coming from the same province.

I never heard of the one you asked about. A search in my Mapy.cz app showed five of them in Spain, but none of them near Burgos.

There's an Ermita de Nuestra Señora de la Peña in Tosantos a day or two before Burgos. That chapel only opens once a year on a celebratory day.

I've stopped there, it's a nice short detour, but all you see is the façade of a chapel built into a cave.

If I can't get there I'll miss it.
My post was asking for directions on how to get there (from which direction, on which trail)

Camino Francés is " the trail ". On the Meseta coming from the albergue San Bol.

See this map from Gronze. So to be even more specific : etapa from Horrnillos del Camino towards Castrojeriz. Halfway.

Hornillos del Camino - Castrojeriz | Camino Francés | Gronze.com

Hasta Hontanas atravesamos dos pequeñas mesetas, por largas y solitarias pistas de tierra, con la misma pauta paisajística del tramo anterior; luego, llaneamos resiguiendo el valle de San Antón hasta llegar a Castrojeriz por su carretera local. Hoy también estamos muy expuestos al sol, sobre...

EDIT : for more details you can use google maps and type in " Ermita de Santa Brigida ".

Since you said you might not have any more room for apps, @SabsP is saying its right before you walk into Hontanas on the Camino Frances trail. Here from Google maps

Hola - yes its about 500/800 metres before you enter Hontanas - on the right hand side (heading west). As the photo above shows its not all that big. Cheers
