Fresno del Camino is a small village with a population of less than 600. It is not on the main Camino Frances as during this stage, that follows the busy N-120 road mostly.
If you want to enjoy a more peaceful road, as an alternative way from La Virgen del Camino, take the one leading to Fresno del Camino. Through smaller villages and beautiful landscapes, you will arrive at Hospital de Órbigo, where the two ways meet again.
