Stage Description
This stage says goodbye to the Field of Campos to enter the Pisuerga River valley. The profile remains mainly flat, on a pleasant stroll through a landscape that is becoming increasingly green and wooded. The route follows the course of the river, offering a natural environment of great beauty. The arrival in Herrera de Pisuerga, a town with an important Roman past and a rich heritage, marks the end of the journey. Its porticoed Plaza Mayor and its churches make it a very culturally interesting stop.
The stage between Osorno la Mayor and Herrera de Pisuerga is a transition day that takes the pilgrim from the cereal plain to the fertile valley of the River Pisuerga. The profile is very favorable, almost flat. The landscape changes, and the aridity of the Land of Campos gives way to a more green and wooded environment with choperas and riverbank forests. The route approaches Herrera de Pisuerga, a village with great historical importance. It was an ancient Roman settlement known as Pisoraca, which served as an important legionary camp. Today it preserves an interesting heritage, such as the Church of Santa Ana and the Plaza Mayor. Additionally, Herrera is famous for its Festival of the River Crab, a gastronomic celebration of great tradition. The locality offers all the necessary services for the pilgrim and a welcoming atmosphere. It's an ideal final stage to enjoy history and nature by the Pisuerga riverbank.
