A restaurant in an old hayloft in the village of Atapuerca, right on the Camino de Santiago: seasonal cooking with no fixed menu, local produce and coeliac-friendly dishes.

A hayloft on the Camino
Comosapiens opened in 2006 in an old hayloft in the village of Atapuerca, on Calle Camino de Santiago, the same street the pilgrims walk along on their way to Burgos. Inside it is stone and wood; outside, a terrace under the trees and a garden with a well. The Junta's listing gives it 65 seats, two forks and a terrace. It is the place to eat in the village itself after the CAREX, which is a kilometre away, or the Olmos mine, about 3 km away.
What you eat
It has no menu, and says so plainly: they dropped it years ago to cook daily according to the season, with local and largely organic produce. So what you eat depends on the day and the time of year. The pages on its website for the menu of the day and the Comosapiens menu currently appear as "not available", so there are no published prices: ask when you call.
What they do emphasise is that a large part of their dishes and desserts are suitable for coeliacs, and they are part of the Burgos sin Gluten network. If you need it, say so when you book. On its website they show, for example, a house pumpkin aioli. The price, like the menu, ask when you book.
Before you go
The website does not publish hours and the Junta's official listing only says it is open all year. There is also a discrepancy in the data: its website gives the phone number 947 430 501 and the email restaurante@comosapiens.com, and the Junta's listing gives another mobile, 711 767 892. Try both and book, especially in spring and autumn, when the village fills with pilgrims, and on weekends of visits to the sites.
For parking, in the village there is room on the streets and a large car park at the CAREX. If you are going to sleep nearby, El Pesebre de Atapuerca is a few steps away, and the village information centre is also close by.

Qué pedir: whatever is in season that day; ask which dishes are gluten-free, because a good part are.
