This is the best anthropological museum I have ever visited (and I worked at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC!)
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

Yes. I built an extra day in Burgos into my calendar so that I could spend more time at this museum. Even when it is not free admission day, it is worth spending a few hours here. There will be many grand churches to see along the camino, but not another great anthropology museum like this one.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.

And, even when it's not free, seniors get a reduced price, regardless of where you come from. AND be sure and ask for the sello - it's a good one!
