You’ll soon leave Amayuelas de Abajo behind. A few steps and you’re on the path beside the canal, with water next to you and flat land all around.
This is a short, peaceful stage of almost three hours. You hardly climb or descend at all, and there’s no village along the way. No café to duck into, no bench by a church. Just you, the canal and the road.
At Frómista you join the Camino Francés. Suddenly you’ll see more pilgrims, and there are plenty of places to stay, including a public albergue. If you want to walk the Francés, this is where you turn off. As there’s nothing along the way, bring food and drink with you from Amayuelas.
