La Roda

The Roda, an industrious village in the province of Albacete, is one of the most well-known and delicious stops on the South East Way. Its fame transcends borders thanks to its "Miguelitos", delicious pastry pastries with cream that are an irresistible temptation for any pilgrim. To stop at The Roda without trying this sweet treat would be almost a sin on the Jacobean route. The town, an important communication hub, offers the walker a large service center, with hostels and a complete range of dining options. Its heritage includes the Church of El Salvador, with an imposing altar, and several noble houses that speak to its noble past. For the pilgrim who traverses the extensive Manchegan plains, The Roda is an oasis of vitality and the perfect place to replenish sugars and energies. It's a stage that demonstrates that the Way of St James also savors itself, connecting the traveler with the most deeply rooted gastronomic traditions in Castile-La Mancha.
