From Puente Almuhey, a beautiful stage awaits the pilgrim. We follow the Tuéjar River upstream to San Martín de Valdetuéjar, whose 12th century church tells a story with its curious representations of mermaids. According to the old legend, St. William, or San Guillermo, turned two pilgrim women into mermaids as a punishment for having seduced some monks.

 

A few kilometres away, nestled in the spectacular landscape, the Santuario de Nuestra Señora de la Velilla (Shrine of Our Lady of Velilla) invites us to enjoy a moment of calm. The Camino continues uphill through a grove of ancient oak trees, becoming a narrow path in the foothills of the Peñacorada Mountains.

 

Following the trail of the Roman legions, the route avoids the mountain pass and winds through a grove of pine trees restored by reforestation, continuing downhill towards Cistierna.


Estimated time according to MIDE, non stop.
