History and what to see
Azofra, with its stone pillory, and Cirueña, with an incongruous golf course, mark a short stage ending in Santo Domingo de la Calzada. The engineer-saint built bridge, road and hospital here; a white cock and hen live inside the cathedral in memory of the miracle of the hanged pilgrim. The confraternity serves dinner to pilgrims.
