Santo Domingo de la Calzada › Belorado

🗺️ Stage Map

📖 Stage Description

Entry into the vast region of Castile and León. The landscape shifts almost imperceptibly — vines give way to cereal fields. Grañón is the last village of La Rioja. Belorado, a medieval town with its arcaded main street and cave dwellings carved into the cliff, makes a pleasant stop.
