Rando walk
Hike feasible in :
Between the cathedral of Burgos and León which is no less beautiful, you'll walk the Castilian Meseta, the dry, rocky earth gives a feeling of vastness ... and eternity!
The circuit is interspersed with welcome small green valleys and hills with their characteristic shape, home to beautiful villages and many very interesting buildings: Castrojeriz, which still looks like a castle, Fromista and its church of St.
Martin, reminiscent of those in the area of Jaca, Carrión de los Condes, San Zoilo, and Calzadilla (the famous floor...), Sahagun, the Spanish Cluny ... and all the wonders of the Castile area which you will easily encounter yourself all the way along the path.....
