Calzadilla de la Cueza

Calzadilla de la Cueza is a small and tranquil stop on the Camino Francés that traverses the vast Campos de Castilla region. Its name evokes its Roman past, as it sits atop the ancient road that connected Bordeaux with Astorga, the Aquitania Way, whose remains are still visible today. This humble Palentine town offers pilgrims a haven of peace amidst the long and straight stages of the meseta plateau. The parish church of San Martín and the remains of an old pilgrim hospital are witnesses to its Jacobean tradition. Although modest in size, Calzadilla de la Cueza provides the essential services for the weary traveler, allowing a deep connection with history and the vastness of Castile's landscape, ideal for reflection and rest.
