About this stage
A relaxed day, just under twenty kilometres separate Frómista from Carrión de los Condes. This stage, with a clearly flat profile, is characterised by the monotonous Castilian plains, dotted with a succession of typical Camino villages where you can rest in the shade of monuments of great beauty and Jacobean tradition.
Recommendation Pilgrim
After the difficulties found on early stages, pilgrims with reduced mobility won’t find this time any bump on the road. This stage can be fulfilled by cyclists in about two hours thanks to be a short and easy path with barely difficulties on the way.

Km 3,4 ‧ Población de Campos
On leaving the village, just before crossing the river Ucieza, we have the possibility of taking (following the street in front of the village) the well-signposted Villovieco by-pass; this pleasant walk is a good alternative to get away from the road for a while. The official route continues along the path next to the road.
