Villavieja is a pretty hamlet that was once home to the serfs who worked in the castle above. It has a spring-fed fountain and the Iglesia de Santiago. Other than the albergue, there are no services — if you plan to stay here, carry your own food.

The setting is peaceful, with chestnut trees and views up to the castle ruins.

The Camino:

Halfway through Villavieja, there's a paved road to the right that bypasses the castle. The camino to the castle goes to the left of a large renovated house, on a gravel path through chestnut trees.
