Leaving the ruins of San Antón, we arrive at Castrojeríz, the town possessing numerous sights to visit for pilgrims. The castle, located on a hill, is the first image we see when entering this village.
It was Alfonso VII who, after a series of battles, seized the village for Castile in 1131. Following this, the settlement started to take shape around the castle. Hospitals, inns, and churches were constructed, which are still to be seen nowadays.
