Stage of the Camino
Stage Description
This stage is one of the most representative of the Meseta, a 17 km long straight stretch along the ancient Roman road Vía Aquitania. The route is flat, monotonous and without shadows, an authentic mental challenge. It's a day for introspection and meditation in a landscape of infinite horizons. The arrival at Terradillos de los Templarios, a small village with a great history linked to the Order of the Temple, is well-deserved rest.
The stage from Carrión de los Condes to Terradillos of the Templars is a 26km journey that enters the vastness of the Land of Fields. The route starts at Carrión de los Condes (800m) and follows a mostly flat profile, with a gentle ascent towards Terradillos of the Templars (850m). The route crosses a beautiful landscape, with the famous 17km straight section of the Via Aquitania as its main protagonist. It is an demanding walk due to its monotony and lack of shade, which requires good mental preparation. Arrival at Terradillos of the Templars, a small village with a great history linked to the Order of the Temple, is a well-deserved rest. This stage combines gentle exercise with rich historical experience, a perfect balance in the French Way.
