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.

So many churches and each one is somehow different. Unbelievable.

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.

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.

Fortification located in the town of Leiva, La Rioja. It is a fortified palace with a rectangular floor plan, with a tower located at each corner. Three of the towers are octagonal, and the one on the southeast corner, considered the keep, is decagonal in plan and taller. The origin of the castle was a tower erected in 1335 by Juan Martínez de Leiva. After sinking, in 1478 the construction of the castle began. The building has undergone numerous modifications, especially from the 17th century, in which it abandoned its defensive character and became solely residential. Later, already in the 20th century, it was used as an agricultural warehouse and offices. Starting in the year 2000, a reconstruction of elements such as the southern part of the west canvas and the southeast tower began.
