Ermita de San Nicolás

Like the ruins of San Antón before Castrojeriz, the Ermita de San Nicolás has a long history of caring for pilgrims. Both stand alone far from any town, and both continue to serve walkers in their own way — the ermita operates a basic donativo albergue with a hospitalero and communal atmosphere.

The building is modest but the setting, alone in the meseta with views in every direction, gives it a contemplative quality that larger places sometimes lack.
