History and what to see

The climb to the Alto de Mostelares (12%) and its brutal descent give the widest view of the Meseta. Itero de la Vega, after the Itero bridge over the Pisuerga (the Burgos–Palencia border), and Boadilla del Camino with its Gothic pillory lead along the 18th-century Canal de Castilla to Frómista and San Martín, a jewel of pure Romanesque.
