Here in the fields you are welcomed in Castile: on a small hill with information boards and wonderful views

Large mapboard at side of the dusty path denoting the boundary between La Rioja and Castilla-León regions. The map shows almost the entire route of the camino in both directions, with major cities and towns marked. There is a smaller map to the side showing the way through the Burgos province.

In Belorado. I don't usually choose a hostel as a highlight, but I can recommend this one unconditionally. And so close to the center. The owner is called Joaquin. Like me.

Beautiful little town - as the name suggests. With great hostels and a large Plaza Mayor, where you can find many restaurants. The town is impressive because of the many paintings on the houses, but this is another highlight. Because these paintings cannot be found on the Plaza Mayor.

On the Way of St. James, these huge signs were rather intimidating and humbling, as we realized how many kilometers there were still to the finish.

Saint John the Baptist (San JUAN BAUTISTA) is - like Saint Joseph - a man on the threshold of the Old and New Testaments. His parents are Zacharias and Elizabeth. After the announcement of the Incarnation of God through them, the Mother of God visits her relative Elizabeth, who will give birth to a son in her old age, namely John the Baptist. He is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner/pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan. Jesus also comes there to be baptized, and is filled with the Holy Spirit who descends upon him from heaven. The memorial day of San Juan Bautista in the calendar of saints is June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Christmas Eve'.

Castle with towers at the corners of the structure. The ancient Roman road that connected Italy to Spain passes through here. Information table on site.

Albergue San Juan is a parish hostel for pilgrims of the Camino de Santiago with a credential, which is located in a building that used to be a hospital for pilgrims, and therefore the name it retains. The address is Behind the Church - Grañón - La Rioja1. It is managed by the parish priest and volunteer hosts. It has 40 places and asks for a donation.
