The Iglesia parroquial de San Pedro Apóstol (at the entrance to town) has an image of Santiago Peregrino.

We can learn a bit about the name of the town, the name of the river, and the word for the stones that mark the camino. They all derive from hito (Fitero, Itero, and hito), which describes a stone that has been driven into the ground, and which is used to indicate a frontier or boundary.

If you arrive before noon or after (perhaps) 2, go to the store.

Let the lovely smiley couple know that you would like a tea (or coffee if you must). They will help you buy some cheese or meat or provide you with an award winning Tortilla.

They let us sit in their Albergue while we ate everything we could find. There was even a bathroom!

Beware March travellers - this was the only food option in town during the day!

Do not eat lunch here! It took 2 hours for a very small amount of food and we were wildly overcharged. In our 6 Caminos, this was one of the biggest rip offs.

Bad water from the same town. Caused multiple individuals to get sick. A couple of folks where out for a day or two. Just a word of caution. Take it or leave it.

There is a small shop next to Albergue Hogar that has all the basics and sells sandwiches and coffee. Unfortunately the water in the city is yellow and non-drinkable so you'll need to either buy it or get it from the little water pit stop before the town.

No signs of life on June 15th. Stayed at Hogar - fine in a pinch.

Stopped for a morning coffee 1.5 euros. Coffee has definitely been better in other places on the Camino! The food didn't look great either.

I stayed in Itero De la Vega 22 March 2023. The only albergue open was Hogar del Perigrino. In spite of being listed as open, “La Mochilla” was closed, and Albergue Puente Fitero was also closed (apparently the owner died and it’s for sale, so unlikely to open until that happens). Maybe consider calling ahead and reserving a place if you’re planning on stopping in this town!

is closed … phone rings, no answer, Jacotrans says they are closed

Hogar del Peregrino -- great hospitaleros, very helpful, and a lovely convenience store next door. A lovely break from the crowds of the Camino.

Camino de Sant…

Hang out for locals. Food was below average and pilgrims being there almost seemed like an afterthought. Standard metal bunks w. lockers. Bathroom wasn’t clean and had mold, the rooms dingy, and walls thin. Found a bedbug but may not have originated there.
