    Tips

    The asphalt reaches right up to this bar with a terrace at the entrance to San Juan de Ortega, so it is a good point to stop along the way and recharge your batteries.
    In the background you will see the monastery and the church.
    If you need to finish your stage here, in the town there is a hostel for pilgrims and a rural hotel.

      This small hamlet has an average population of just 18 inhabitants, however, it is seen as one of the great landmarks on the French route and as a popular meeting point for many pilgrims.
      The saint that shares its name, the disciple of Saint Domingo de la Calzada, builder and protector of the ancient route, managed to erect a small church and an important refuge for pilgrims which gave them shelter after the difficult climb up the inhospitable Montes de Oca. Today the quiet place is revived with the presence of pilgrims.
