This little Burgos hamlet lies directly on the French Way of the Camino de Santiago, making it a natural stop for pilgrims crossing the Montes de Oca in Castile and León. It also holds the distinction of being a former medieval bishopric and a present Latin titular see, giving it an ecclesiastical history out of proportion to its size. The wider region is ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites.
