The church is often locked up, but if you ask around for the key the locals are always happy to unlock it for pilgrims.

The Road

Between here and San Justo de la Vega there are no facilities, but a small kiosk run by pilgrims operates during the busier seasons. Just before the steep descent into San Justo de la Vega is the Cruceiro de Santo Toribio overlooking Astorga in the distance. From this vantage point, you can see the Cathedral of Astorga and the string of towns that dot the camino as it crosses the mountains ahead.

Camino de Sant… (not verified)

La Casa de Los Dioses up on the plateau after those hills (up and down and up again) was so welcome! We came from Villar de Mazarife this morning and wow was the break here welcome. Be open to what the Camino and the universe provides and rest a bit before the hill down into San Justo de Vega!

Camino de Sant…

There is a stall half way between Santibanez and San Justo de Vega with a guy who has fresh fruit, tea, coffee, lemonade, juice, biscuits, chocolate and many other things. He is very kind, and everything is by donation. He said it is open year round as he lives here. He speaks English and Spanish and a little of other languages.
Word a stop by for a refreshing drink!
He also has a very beautiful stamp/cello.
