Nájera to Calzadilla de la Cueza
From Nájera with its "Santa Maria la Real" monastery, the pilgrimage route leads through gently undulating countryside to Santo Domingo de la Calzada, known for the famous chicken miracle.
The province of Burgos is reached in Redecilla del Camino. The ascent to the Goose Mountains (Montes de Oca) takes the pilgrims to the Castilian plateau.
Burgos is the stop for our rest day - enough time for a stroll through the town and to visit the impressive Gothic cathedral. After Burgos, the Way of St. James runs through the Meseta, which impresses with its simple beauty and the intense play of colors and leads us to the destination of this pilgrimage, Calzadilla de la Cueza.

Hinweise
This offer is a pilgrimage group tour planned and organized by Pilgino. Breakfast and dinner are taken together. There is also a voluntary "start of the day" every morning by the tour guide for the whole group. Pilgrims are not necessarily required to walk in a group, but can choose their own pace and the intervals between breaks.
The tour guide does not go on pilgrimage with the participants, but drives the support vehicle, takes care of luggage transportation and can be contacted by telephone if necessary. Our tour guides are themselves experienced pilgrims who are happy to help and advise the participants.
Überblick
The minimum number of participants for our group tours is usually 8 people. If this number is not reached at least 4 weeks before the start of the tour, Pilgino has the right to cancel the tour. In this case, you will receive a full refund of your deposit or the tour price already paid.
