Stage Description

This 23.9 km stage immerses the pilgrim fully in the Oca Mountains, a landscape of oak and pine forests that represents an enjoyable change from the plains. The route is of medium difficulty, with a progressive ascent to the Alto de la Pedraja, at 1,150 meters. The route passes through small villages with charm such as Tosantos, with its cave monastery excavated in the rock, and Villafranca Montes de Oca, an important historical stronghold. The final stretch, after reaching the top, is a peaceful stroll through the forest to reach the solitary and mystical Monastery of San Juan de Ortega, a place of great importance for pilgrims and an ideal retreat for reflection and rest.
