Wise Pilgrim APPCervera de Pisuerga is a nice little town at the foot of the Montana Palentina. It has good restaurants, cafes on the square, and a supermarket or two. The town marks the end of the lovely 12 km riverside walk from Salinas de Pisuerga.
Cervera has accommodation, shops, and all basic services.
The 39 km from Cervera to Guardo is obviously a very long day. It starts with a short ascent to an abandoned mine. From there, lots of flat off-road walking with the Montana Palentina in your sights — wide open spaces with mountains in the distance.
The route takes you through small villages that time has forgotten. There's a welcome rest stop in Santibanez de la Pena (about 27 km from Cervera), where Bar Mylo has rooms — call +34 979 860 294.
To split the stage, stop in Tarilonte de la Pena at the halfway point (20 km), where Hotel Rural El Yunque offers rooms and may let you use their kitchen. There's also Casa Rural El Encinar in the same village. A bar is open only May through September.
