Stage Description

This stage has as its destination one of the most impressive medieval villages in Castile. The profile is a continuous rise and fall through a landscape of fields of cultivation and low hills. Emotion grows as the silhouette of Atienza comes into view, with its imposing rocky castle. Arrival at this village, with its set of Romanesque churches and its Grain Market Square, is one of the great rewards of the pilgrimage in the interior of Spain.
