This stage is not hard to perfomr despite miles. We walk through fields of grain and with little or no shade and you can find places where sun protection and also to buy drinks and food. The place of "Santo Domingo de la Calzada" is a true icon of the Camino de Santiago, the end of the stage.

The stage runs the place called "Najera" before starting the stage outside the city.

Then you get to Azofra, a village of Arab origin whose houses are built on the sides of the main street, which is the Camino de Santiago.

A little later, pilgrims can be diverted to the monastery of "SAN MILLAN OF COGOYA" which is considered the place where the Spanish language was born.

You can also visit the monasteries of "Suso" and "YUSO". We recommend looking for information on the days that are not open to visitors.

Then, through grain fields, continue to the end of the stage in "Santo Domingo de la Calzada".
