Information

Get to know Boadilla del Camino

As its name suggests, the town of Boadilla del Camino was born to provide services to pilgrims. The story goes that the first people to arrive in the village were surprised by its good land.

You will only find the most basic services, so few pilgrims decide to make the end of the stage in this small town.

History / Culture

What to see

Rollo Gótico Jurisdiccional

The Jurisdictional Gothic Rollo is a sign of jurisdictional autonomy that the town acquired thanks to a privilege of Henry IV, by which the town ceased to be subject to the jurisdiction of the lords of Melgar and Castrojeriz.

Here the convicts were tied with chains to expose them to public shame before being sent to justice.

Palomares

There are a large number of dovecotes scattered throughout Hontanas. All of them have the following structure, square plan and earthy facade.

These dovecotes abound especially in the parish of Campos, where many pigeons used to arrive to breed in their niches.

Lavaderos

The washhouses are a recent construction, which was completed in 1955. These function as an ethnographic sample of the way of life of other times.
