ウエルカノスのおすすめツーリングルート

Suitable for cyclists and walkers of any level and physical condition.

The pilgrimage route repeatedly involves crossing valleys and rivers like the Rio Oja – as here at Santo Domingo de la Calzada. The bridges are sometimes relatively modern, sometimes medieval, and sometimes even older.

The reservoir was built over a century ago from a small natural lake to provide irrigation water for agricultural land.

It crosses the Oja River, connecting different parts of the city. Built in the 12th century by Saint Dominic de la Calzada to facilitate the passage of pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago. The stone bridge features several arches, a fine example of medieval engineering.

The Cathedral of Santo Domingo de la Calzada, also known as the Cathedral of El Salvador, is an impressive monument located in the town of Santo Domingo de la Calzada. The cathedral was built between the 12th and 13th centuries, combining Romanesque and Gothic styles. A unique feature is its free-standing tower, separated from the main body of the cathedral.

A great view of this impressive landscape.

The place impresses not only with the cathedral and the bell tower, but also with its historic old town

The church was built in the 15th century and remodeled and completely decorated in the Baroque period. The tower façade was completed during this period. The main altar, which dates back to the first third of the 18th century, is noteworthy. There is an important collection of paintings hanging on the walls of the church and in the sacristy. Among them, the depiction of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, which is located in the presbytery, stands out.
