    Right at the gates of Frómista is this set of locks that many consider to be one of the most ingenious works of the entire canal complex.
    In total, the locks save almost 15 meters of difference in level.

      Found near Fromista. By the way, Fromista is a good place for a stopover (with bike).

        These are the spectacular locks in the Canal de Castilla near Fromista. This is an absolutely unmissable point on the Camino. The roar of the water is truly amazing. Built more than 200 years ago to transport grain to the sea on barges, it is an extraordinary feat of engineering.

          Not only in France there are locks - also in Spain :-).

            Just before Fromista there is a multi-level lock on the Canal de Castilla. The canal was built in the late 18th and early 19th centuries and was one of the most important infrastructure projects in Spain at the time. It is considered an engineering masterpiece. The total length is 207 km.

              A technical masterpiece from the late 18th century.

                A very impressive hydraulic structure that makes a nice resting place when the weather is right. From here it's 4,487 kilometers to Jerusalem, 1,587 kilometers to Rome and only 424 kilometers to Santiago.

                  An engineering work unparalleled in Spain.
                  Pleasant route that runs along the canal, suitable for children.

                    The walls of the lock are slightly curved so that two ships could be locked at the same time. The canal, which bridges over 200km 150m difference in height via 49 locks, was never completed, but is considered a cultural heritage.

                      Very impressive lock that was built here. Unlike other locks, the walls here are arched.

                        The canal's barrages are always an eye-catcher. They are interestingly designed.

                          High locks of the Canal de Castilla, one above the other in stages. The walls are slightly curved, allowing two ships to be locked at the same time. The 200m long canal, which spans 150 metres in height with 49 locks, was never completed, but is considered cultural heritage.
