Scenery
Open agricultural land giving way to suburbs and the historic cityscape dominated by the Gothic cathedral towers.
Points of interest along the way

- • Historic monasteries such as Las Huelgas
Water along the Camino
Pilgrims will find drinking water fountains (fuentes), public taps and springs in most villages and at points along the way. In summer and on remote stretches, carry enough water between stops as gaps can be long.
