Herrera de Pisuerga

Herrera de Pisuerga, a historic village in the Palentine region, is an important stop on the Calzada de los Blendios, an ancient route that connected the plateau with the Cantabrian coast. Its history is deeply marked by its Roman past, as it was the settlement of the IV Macedonian Legion. Today, its Archaeological Hall allows visitors and pilgrims to immerse themselves in this legacy. The locality, situated in the fertile valley of the River Pisuerga, offers an ideal natural environment for rest. For the Camino de Santiago walker who chooses this alternative route, Herrera de Pisuerga is a center of services and a culturally enriching stop. The church of Santa Ana and its porticoed square are among its attractions. It is also famous for its Festival of River Crab. This stage combines immersion in Roman history with the tranquility of the riverbank, an authentic experience in Palentine countryside before continuing on to mountain or coast.
