French Way from Burgos to Leon

This stage is similar to the previous one, so we recommend going out with everything you need, especially water to quench your thirst. After overcoming a small slope, you will reach the village of Hontanas, from where you can choose between continuing along a dirt track or turning off along the road; both options will take you to the ruins of the old Convent of San Antón, the remains of a Gothic temple from the 19th century. From here it is only a 5-kilometre walk to the characteristic triumphal arch of Castrojeriz.

Castrojeriz is a small monumental village located at the foot of a hill. Following the route along Calle Real, you can visit the main monuments of the town: the Collegiate Church, the church of Santo Domingo, or the church of San Juán; and on the outskirts you can contemplate imposing medieval monuments such as the convents of Santa Clara, San Antón and San Francisco. It is also impressive to see the ruins of its castle of Roman origin, located at the top of a hill.
