Information
In today's stage we will leave Nájera heading towards Santo Domingo de la Calzada a short, easy stage with few slopes. We will pass through a couple of villages, the welcoming Azofra and Cirueña, spoilt by the construction of a golf course. The extensive cereal landscapes that are stealing prominence to the vines, something that indicates that we are approaching Castile.
Have you ever heard the miracle of the rooster and the hen? Among the legends of the Camino de Santiago, this is one of our favourites, and it happened in the place we will visit today: Santo Domingo de la Calzada, where the hen sang after roasting.
This stage is part of the French Way. Would you like to walk it with your accommodation already booked? These organised trips include it: French Way from Roncesvalles to Santiago de Compostela and French Way from Logroño to Burgos.
You leave Nájera and its monastery of Santa María la Real and cross Azofra —stock up, since kilometres without services lie ahead. You can detour to the monasteries of Suso and Yuso in San Millán de la Cogolla, cradle of the Spanish language and a World Heritage Site. Through fields of grain you reach Santo Domingo de la Calzada, home of the famous legend of the rooster and the hen.
