Wise Pilgrim APPCross over the river -- which by this point looks more like a canal -- to reach the bar. Otherwise keep straight through town. The village sits on the edge of the Paramo Leones, the dry plateau that stretches north toward La Baneza.
The camino ahead passes near the villages of Villanueva de Jamuz (bar) (3.4km) and Santa Elena de Jamuz (3.8km) but does not actually enter them. At the far edge of Santa Elena it joins the road but only for a short distance, keep an eye open for the arrows which turn right and away from the road.
The path follows farm lanes to the A-6 motorway and here the camino turns left in search of a way beneath it... which happens to be along the road you left earlier. The camino follows the road until it bends to the left, where it instead turns to the right to enter La Bañeza via the back roads.
