Remains of the apse of the Hermitage of San Felices.

The Church of the Assumption of Our Lady in Villagalijo is a Gothic church located south of the town center, in the heart of the Sierra de la Demanda. The building stands out for its medieval sobriety and its location in a mountainous setting, where small villages retain a distinctly rural character. It is a good point of interest for those visiting this border area between Burgos and La Rioja, combining historical heritage with the opportunity to follow hiking trails through the nearby mountains, such as the Dos Aguas GR-290 trail.

Fresneda de la Sierra Tirón is a small town in Burgos, located in the heart of the Sierra de la Demanda, very close to La Rioja. It is an attractive destination for hikers due to its mountainous surroundings and the proximity of places like Pozo Negro, a turquoise glacial lagoon in the shadow of Otero Peak. The town preserves historical remains and traditions, with the Church of the Assumption and hermitages as points of interest. From here, trails depart to peaks such as Otero, Cabeza Aguílez, and Torocuervo, ideal for enjoying panoramic views and beech and oak forests.

On the approximately 800-kilometer route through northern Spain – perhaps even earlier in France – the pilgrim has repeatedly crossed borders that may have held significant significance in the past, and some still do today from a regional political perspective.

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.

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.

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.
