Today will be spent among mountain landscapes and solitary paths where we can
disconnect and abandon our thoughts. We can divide this stage into two distinct parts,
the first runs with hardly any hills between small villages typical of the Camino, and the
second begins in Villafranca, from where we will have to ascend to the Montes de Oca.
Only the trees and the murmur of the wind will accompany us on this stretch with views of
San Juan de Ortega.
Recommendation Pilgrim
This stage is impossible for people with reduced mobility. It is necessary to go to San Juan de
Ortega in any kind of transport. For cyclists, this stage is also a little bit complicated in some
parts.
If its rainy is probably that the paths are full of mud; in this case the best option is to go
through the N-120 to get to Villafranca.

Itinerary
Km 0 ‧ Belorado
We go down Calle Hipólito López Bernal and follow the Avenida de Santiago. On leaving
Belorado we cross the national road N-120, cross the river Tirón over a wooden bridge,
and continue along a comfortable dirt track.
At the exit, we turn left onto a dirt track, passing through cereal fields.
Km 6,7 ‧ Villambistia
We continue in the same direction. When we reach Espinosa del Camino we cross the
national road N-120.
Km 8,3 ‧ Espinosa del Camino
At the exit we turn left to follow another farm track, between fields of crops. On the way
down we pass by the apse of San Felices, the only vestige of an ancient pre-Romanesque
monastery, and the place where, according to some chronicles, the tomb of Count Diego
Porcelos, founder of Burgos, is located. Further on, we follow the N-120 and, before
reaching Villafranca, we cross the river Oca over a pontoon.
Km 11,9 ‧ Villafranca Montes de Oca
A magnificent three-hour walk through the Montes de Oca. We start from Villafranca, to
the right of the church, with a climb that gradually moderates. We follow the same track,
gaining altitude and after a few kilometres we reach the Monument to those shot in the
Civil War. We cross a small ravine (Carratón river) with two steep ramps, one downhill
and one uphill, and continue the ascent to the Alto de la Pedraja.
We then follow a wide
track through a forest of oaks and pines. Finally, a long, gentle descent along a
comfortable forest track leads us to San Juan de Ortega.
