The route

Km 0. Santo Domingo de la Calzada (All Services)

A good juice, a coffee and the varied pastries of Santo Domingo de la Calzada, with its famous hangars, allow us to face with guarantees the last kilometers of the Camino in La Rioja and the first of Castilla. The streets Mayor and Palomarejos River are next to the chapel of the early 20th century that gives access to the bridge over the Oja River, almost 150 meters long and supported by 16 arches. Only the enclave remains of the primitive Vado built by Santo Domingo today, since its current structure is mediated from the
eighteenth and twentieth centuries. After crossing, we diverted by track to cross the LR-201. Six hundred meters later we do the same with a branch of the N-120(Km
1.7).

We continue parallel to the National Road for several kilometers until we turn left and head to Grañón, the last town in Riojano. If we go to the hostel located next to the hermitage of Carrasquedo we will have to take a detour before reaching Grañón! Shops
and bars are swirled around Calle Mayor. Here, in number 16, Ernesto Díaz welcomes pilgrims in his house (see section observations). The parish hostel is in the church of San Juan Bautista

Km 6.8. Grañón (Hostel. Bars. Store. Pharmacy. Office. Cashier. Hostel also next to the chapel of Carrasquedo.)

At the exit of Grañón we find again the clues of land concentration that the cereal grows, relieved in its planned monotony by the rows of chopsticks that grow along rivers and streams. Two kilometers later, a spied information panel welcomes Castilla y León, Community that will accompany us during the next two weeks (Km
8.8). We are already in the province of Burgos and, before standing in Galicia, we will still pass through Palencia and León. From the panel you can see Redecilla del Camino, the first Spanish town to which we arrived after passing a long line and crossing the N-120.

Km 10.7. Redecilla del Camino (Hostel. Bar. Store)

At the entrance of the town there is a jurisdictional roll and a tourist office where they offer ample information of the Camino de Santiago as it passes through Castilla y León. On Calle Mayor, the parish church of the Virgen de la Calle grabs an interesting baptismal stack of the 12th century. At the exit of Redecilla we crossed the N-120 again and then over the Relax River, on the way of the following locality:

Km 12.4. Castildelgado (Hostel. Hostel. Bar. Store)

We approach it through El Cristo Street and Calle Mayor to Plaza Mayor, where are the church of San Pedro and the baroque chapel of Santa María del Campo). We left Castildelgado on the street Camino de la Cuesta and by track parallel to the National and asphalt we arrived to Vitoria de Rioja, where towards the year 1020Santo
Domingo de la Calzada was born.

Km 14.3. Viloria de Rioja (Hostels)

We put dirt through the middle until we link to the incombustible track attached to the National Highway (Km 15,5). Through it we continue until Villamayor del Río. At the entrance there is a small park and a rest area where to replace calories for the final stage.

Km 17.8. Villamayor del Río (Hostel. Bar)

We went down Real Street and took the track again to move from a pull to the center of Belorad.

What to see, what to do

GRAÑÓN:Grañón is
the last town of La Rioja before entering Burgos, a border place in its times of the Kingdom of Navarre and the County of Castilla. It is located at the noroestedel
cerro de Mirabel and formed around a castle whose first mentions date back to 885. In the 19th century, two neighbors of Grañón and Santo Domingo de la
Calzadaresoled the disputes over the Dehesa era in a death battle that eventually won Martín García de Grañón. In the place a cross was raised that is still preserved and
named "of the Brave". The town still maintains the quadricular road system of the pilgrimage villas. The monumental parish temple of the 14th century was consecrated
to St. John the Baptist and in it stands out its valuable altarpiece. The hermitage of Our Lady of Carrasquedo, and its setting of oak trees, is another worthy place to visit
in Grañón. The town has shops, bars, a parish and a youth hostel.
REDECILLA DEL CAMINO:First Burmese people
of the Camino. It has a great medieval taste along its street path where we will find blasphemed houses with outgoing eaves. The baptismal stack, 12th
century Romanesque, located in the parish church of the Virgen de la Calle, is another architectural gem of the Camino. It's a big glass sitting on a bundle of eight columns.
VILORIA DE RIOJA:Santo Domingo
de la Calzada was born in this Burmese town back in May 1019. Even the site where it grew is preserved. In the church of the Assumption there is a 17th recital in walnut wood with the image of the Holy.
BELORADA:Important
medieval villa in the shadow of a plume and bathed by the River Tirón. At the top of the farallon are the remains of a castle of the 10th century. The Church of SantaMaría,
built in the 16th century, is of Renaissance style and has a large baroque altarpiece. The town of San Pedro, in the plaza, was renovated in the 17th century and stands out for its torrecampanario.
Outside the urban area is the chapel of Nuestra Señora de Belén, built again in the 18th century after being ravaged by a fire. Belorada is famous for
its fur shops and factories, has a wide commercial service and good cafes and restaurants in Plaza Mayor. In addition, it is one of the localities of the Frankfurt Road
with more hostels for pilgrims.
