Carrión de los Condes walks

Sixtieth stage of the Camino de Santiago. A carefree stage... it’s flat... flat... flat! Few village crossings. The route is less desolate than the previous stage, yet there isn’t much to discover. But this may be an opportunity to listen to the silence and reflect on what truly drove us to reach Santiago!

Sixty-first stage of the Camino de Santiago. This short route is a transitional stage, allowing you time to visit the Virgen del Puente before arriving in Sahagún and then exploring the town, its churches and monasteries. It is also a good opportunity to rest after the long stages that have gone before, in order to prepare for the long stages ahead.

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.

Sixty-second stage of the Camino de Santiago. This stage is long, monotonous and hot! In short, another stage across the Meseta and, more specifically, the rocky Páramo plain, with endless, straight paths offering little variety that seem to go on forever.

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.
