Frómista

Frómista is a crossroads of faith, art and engineering in the heart of the Camino Francés. This Palentine locality houses one of Europe's most pure Romanesque jewels: San Martin de Tours Church. Its perfect harmony of volumes and rich sculptural iconography make it an obligatory visit. But Frómista is also a key point of the Castile Canal, an ambitious engineering work from the 18th century, where an impressive quadruple set of locks saves the terrain's slope, creating a unique landscape. For pilgrims, this village offers an unforgettable lesson in history and art, as well as all necessary services for a restorative break. It is a place where the dirt road and waterway meet in perfect symbiosis.
