We take Mercadillo Bridge across the Esla River near the Cruz del Molino landmark and the old Shrine of San Bernabé, continuing towards Modino until we reach a junction on our right, which takes us to the San Pelayo hermitage. The Camino continues uphill, through forests of pine, holm oak and oak trees to San Pedro de Foncollada, where pilgrims once found refuge in a monastery that has since disappeared.
In La Ercina, we can visit the ethnographic museum and the Ruta de los Castros hiking trail before continuing towards Santiago by way of Cordel Merinero de la Varga, which goes across the region of Las Arrimadas. Between Acisa and Barrillos, Santa Marina Church preserves Jacobean evidence.
After going through the ‘Gateway to Galicia’, along Camino de los Rocines and the vast floodplains of the Porma River, we enter the town of Boñar.
Estimated time according to MIDE, non stop.
