Stage of the Camino
Stage Description
This is a mountain stage that crosses the Oca Mountains, a wooded and isolated area feared by medieval pilgrims. The ascent is demanding, but the landscape is of great beauty. It's a day to enjoy nature and solitude on the trail. Arrival at San Juan de Ortega monastery, an oasis of peace in the heart of the forest, is a spiritual endpoint. It's a journey that requires good physical effort, but rewards with a unique environment.
