Para un desayuno temprano o un café, mire a la carretera principal (al sureste de la iglesia) donde encontrará algunos bares que atienden a peregrinos temprano en la subida y a los conductores de camiones temprano en el trabajo.

La Iglesia de Santa María de la Asunción, ubicada en la plaza principal, es una vista radiante.

Fiesta

El día del mercado es sábado. Los lugareños también celebran a su patrona Santa María del 14 al 20 de agosto.

History

Los Arcos, un pueblo que data de su ocupación romana, está dispuesto en largas calles que corren paralelas al río Odrón. Su enfoque a lo largo del camino lo lleva al lado norte de la ciudad, y fue en la cima de las colinas al este (izquierda en la aproximación) que el castillo una vez estuvo de pie.

Es una ciudad fronteriza (Logroño está suficientemente cerca) y como resultado vio su parte tanto de destrucción (a manos de la nobleza hambrienta de tierra) como de prosperidad (cada cruce fronterizo significaba pagar un peaje, y cambiar moneda, y muy probablemente pagar un impuesto sobre su caballo).

The Road

Saliendo de la ciudad, se pasa por el Arco de Felipe V y se cruza el río Odrón. Algunos de los albergues de la ciudad se encuentran en el lado oeste del río.

This private Albergue is not listed on here. I found it on booking.com. It is absolutely fantastic. Rooms are clean. Has a washer that's free with detergent provided. Full kitchen with free coffee and teas. Very homey feeling. Four people per room. Only has 12 beds. The host is fantastic and is very close to Santa Maria with a grocery and food near by.

This is a nice enough place with excellent staff. However, it is 1,9 kms by car from Los Arcos and 3,7 to walk. So if you are planning on staying here factor in you might want a cab to bring you and a cab to take you back to Los Arcos and the camino path.

We had the best pilgrim meal so far here - and they start serving at 6:00 pm for the pilgrim who needs to get up early for the long walk tomorrow! Go in the hotel entrance and up 1 flight of stairs to the restaurant.

There is a blessing in this amazing church a few nights each week. Check the sign on the outside for exact schedule. Definitely worth seeing this ornate church!
