  1. Camino de Santiago

4. Najera to San Juan

A delightful walk through La Rioja vineyards takes us to Santo Domingo de la Calzada. This town is named after "Saint Dominic of the Road," who dedicated his life to building roads and bridges for pilgrims in the 11th century. Belorado is a village in Spain, belonging in the Province of Burgos, an autonomous community of Castile-Leon. St Juan de Ortega is a Romanesque monastery built in the 12th century in the village of Barrios de Colina, a village of less than 100 inhabitants. The site chosen by San Juan was the wild and barren wastes of the Montes de Oca, much-feared by medieval pilgrims as a haven for bandits and regarded as one of the most dangerous stretches of the entire medieval route.
