Castile Canal and Palencia Cathedral
Free parking is available in the public car park at the start of the walk. Walk along the canal in the shade of the trees and cross the bridge to admire the lock. Return via the other bank of the canal to the water retention basin. Take the pedestrian crossing to enter the old town and visit the cathedral. Then return to the car park.

Departure from Itero de la Vega (Palencia)
Fifty-ninth stage of the Camino de Santiago. A long, flat stage with no particular difficulty, except that you walk alongside long stretches of busy road. You enter the province of Palencia and pass through several towns and villages, including Boadilla del Camino with its Gothic Rollo and Frómista, where you can admire the four-lock system of the Canal de Castilla. After entering the autonomous community of Castile and León, you discover the town of Carrión de los Condes with its extraordinary Church of Santa María del Camino and its old town.
