Atienza for pilgrims
End and start of a stage on the Ruta de la Lana of the Way of St. James, and a landmark on the Way of El Cid. A noble halt between two days.
The village on the Way
A crossroads of faith and of epic
Those walking to Santiago along the Ruta de la Lana find in Atienza a halt with castle, churches and table. Those following the trail of El Cid recognise here the “mighty crag” of the Song. The village was always a place of passage.
