Hotels in El Burgo de Osma

Calle Mayor and Plaza Mayor

The arcaded Calle Mayor links the cathedral with the Plaza Mayor and is where town life happens. Under the arches are bars, bakeries and shops selling local produce. On one side of the square rises the façade of the Hospital de San Agustín and, a few steps away, the old Universidad de Santa Catalina building.

This area lets you go out to dinner and walk back. It appeals to those who come to eat well, especially in the pig-slaughter season, and to those who want to see the old town without depending on the car.

Best-rated in this area: Castilla Termal Burgo de Osma, with a score of 9.1 from 2,970 reviews.

Around the cathedral and the wall

Around the cathedral the streets are narrower and quieter. You have the cathedral museum close at hand, which holds the Beatus of Osma, and the stretches of wall that run down to the river Ucero. It is a part of the old town with few cars, good for those who want to rest after a day of sightseeing. At dusk, the floodlit cathedral tower can be seen from almost all these streets.

Osma, across the Ucero

Across the river is Osma, the oldest core, with the feel of a small village. Above it rise the castle ruins and, on the next hill, the Uxama archaeological site. If you stay here you can walk up to both and stroll down to the centre along the river. It is the most rural option without leaving the municipality.

Exits along the N-122

On the outskirts, along the N-122 towards Soria and Aranda de Duero, there are places to stay with their own parking. They suit you if you plan day trips: the Cañón del Río Lobos lies to the north, via Ucero, and the Gormaz fortress and Calatañazor are a short drive away.
