Who go along it encounter stretches of Roman road, overcome with joy the mountain's summit Fuenfría, emulate the Galician reapers along the trails that led them to labor camps in Castilla la Nueva and, ultimately, pay homage to Pilgrim Virgin of Sahagun while are linking to the path that comes by the traditional way which starts at Somport or Roncesvalles in Spain.
The entire section of the Way of St. James from Madrid, Spain's capital, to its link with the French Way in the town of Sahagún (León) has a total of 325.3 kilometers of which 241.5 kilometers pass by Castilla y Leon and form an artistic whole of the first order. If the pilgrim seeks the goal of Santiago de Compostela, they will still have to go something over 364 miles.
