The camino has now entered the central Meseta, and the landscape here has had a lasting effect on the character of the people, but its lack of naturally durable building materials has meant the opposite for the architecture. Many of the treasures that once stood here are all but lost, the oldest remaining building is the 17th century palace house and village church.

The broad expanses here have a certain effect on the pilgrim psyche and to skip over it is to miss out on an important stage of the journey. Do not expect to see many of the places along the way until the last moment, they are often built into the shallow valleys where shade and water collects.

The Road

There is a fountain and a picnic area 2.4 km outside of Rabé de las Calzadas.

The man who runs La Fuente is absolutely so lovely that you will want to hang out and review his wall of international treasures. From small koala bears to American flags, the wall is packed with “our” stuff.

The tortilla was amazing. Tea was fab. He was a treasure. Go there just for his sonrisa. It could light up the whole town!

Gosh we were so lucky in all the places we stayed on our 2022 Camino stage,
Accommodation here was great, clean & comfortable,
We had the pilgrim meal here also which was top notch & filling, the lady of the house was very nice & helpful.
Also while we were there a few old nuns dropped by to invite us pilgrims to the monastery later in the evening for pilgrim prayers, those that went though it was lovely & received a medal to keep them safe on their journey,

Restaurante and Bar La Fuente was a great eating spot - good prices, nice selection both ala carte and via the menu del diá. For those needing them, they also offered vegetarian menu del diá. The hours are very pilgrim-friendly. Free wi-fi and good bathroom too!
