Frómista es la ciudad más meridional a lo largo del Camino Francés y el epicentro del cultivo de trigo en España. Sus ascensos y caídas a lo largo de los siglos finalmente se estabilizaron con la llegada de los canales a finales del siglo XVIII; trajeron un riego adecuado y una abundante fuente de energía para los molinos.

En el centro de la ciudad se encuentra la Iglesia de San Martín, que sufrió una renovación bastante desafortunada en el siglo XIX. En el proceso, muchos de los elementos más artísticos fueron eliminados por razones de decencia. Un buen número de capiteles decorados son una visita interesante, si no divertida. Otras dos iglesias, San Pedro Santa María del Castillo, están generalmente abiertas al público.

Fiesta

San Telmo se celebra el lunes siguiente al lunes de Pascua y es un gran problema para Frómista. Si te lo pierdes, la celebración más pequeña de San Telmillo es el domingo siguiente. Santiago se celebra el 25 de julio y la Virgen de Otero se celebra el 8 de septiembre.

Los viernes son días de mercado.

History

Pedro Gonzáles Telmo, santo patrón de los marineros y homónimo de la expresión Fuego de San Elmo, proviene de Frómista.

The Road

Salir de Frómista se logra volviendo unos pasos a la intersección principal, no se abra camino ciegamente por la ciudad y si planea salir antes de que salga el sol, hágase el favor de buscar flechas con antelación. El sendero aquí sigue un camino de grava salpicado por frecuentes "mitlos hitos gemelos" que se colocan para desalentar a los vehículos todo terreno de hacerse cargo del camino.

What a gem! One of the best Albergue . The owner is a truly lovely, courteous, and attentive person. His hostel is simply wonderful, with proper beds, great new mattresses, and warm duvets. The showers are hot, and there's plenty of space. Each bed has a light and power outlets, and you can choose between a bed by the window or against the wall. Every bunk has curtains for added privacy. Thank you Jose!!!!

Wise Pilgrim indicated a train and bus at this location but we were unable to locate either. Locals indicated no bus was there.

Los Palmeros is NOT a restaurant for pilgrims; they turned us away at the entrance. The one next door is very good and they are very attentive to pilgrims.Los Palmeros is NOT a restaurant for pilgrims; they turned us away at the entrance.

Tal vez el mejor restaurante de peregrinos en el que has cenado. Buen precio y mejor comida, pide las costillas ibéricas.

There wasn’t much open anyway this early in the season but this spot was awesome. Bartender was super accommodating and brought out a free round to end the night. Definitely worth a stop.

Stayed in hostal de camino private room, all good. No food here in the hostal. Maybe a lot of places close earlier 🤷🏼‍♀️ so the evening option was an okay but overpriced €21 el menu del dia and not great quality. Other option a Michelin star restaurant that opens 8-9pm. The panaderia opens late and early at 6:30am great coffee, bocadillio and pastries

SalAzar is a bright spot in this little town. Baked goods are very good. Open early. Spotless and cheery. Friendly staff!

Had dinner at this restaurant.
It opens at 6.30pm but on the night I was there I couldn’t get a table till 8.30pm. I had salmon which tasted very fresh. My companions had ribs which were very good. Service good and friendly staff. Would recommend
