The view from Alto de Mostelares is one of the most iconic and spectacular views of the Camino de Santiago in the province of Burgos. This peak is located approximately 4 km west of Castrojeriz and is famous for both its challenging climb and its panoramic views.

Located on a hilltop, it dominates the town and offers spectacular views of the region. Its origins are Roman, although it was expanded by Arabs and Christians. It suffered severe damage in the Lisbon earthquake of 1755, but its ruins can still be visited.

The entrance to Castrojeriz via the Hontanas road is one of the most iconic routes along the French Way of St. James. Leaving Hontanas, the landscape is an open Castilian plain, and after a few kilometers, the impressive silhouette of Castrojeriz appears, dominated by its castle at the top of the hill.

The Convent of Santa Clara de Castrojeriz, located in the province of Burgos, is one of the most emblematic monuments of this town on the Camino de Santiago. Founded in the 13th century, this convent of Poor Clare nuns has maintained a continuous presence since its inception, making it one of the oldest still-operating convents in Castile.

At the entrance to the venerable Poor Clare monastery stands a baroque holy water font. What's inside? A disinfectant dispenser. No holy water. No blessing. Just hygiene. Do people here still believe in the Real Presence – or just in the bacterial load? The Camino leads not only over mountains, but also through the abysses of liturgical desacralization. #HolyWaterSubstitute #RealPresenceOrEthanol #CaminoSatire #SantaClaraDisinfected

A negative highlight. A little further than this photo, on a stretch of about 1 km, there is a 30 cm wide path that is densely overgrown with woman-high vegetation. Especially with CCHF cases in Spain, this section is a clear warning.
