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.

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

Salazar Panadería was one of the best we’ve tried on the Camino so far! Lovely selection of breads and treats!

I Albergue Vicus hostel is amazing. Extremely kind host - Ángel - treated us with kindness and warm regards. He recommended us the restaurant Van-dos. Cool restaurant owner/bartender/waiter. Great food and wine for pilgrims. Washed off the tiredness.

For out of season Peregrinas/os, stock up before you set out for the 19km/3.5 hour jaunt.

Particularly if you are an early riser.

There was no water, no food & no one en route.

The good news - when the town comes into view, it’s a happy surprise after a long stroll.

Quiet little sad town. Locals seem to have a chip on their shoulders. Even when I do my best to be polite smile and not demanding. Everything is way over priced and low quality. The cathedrals aren’t very note worthy. Consider staying somewhere else

Las Palmeros is a fantastic place to dine. You could plop it down in Chicago or New York and it would fit right in with the finest restaurants there. Not inexpensive by Spanish standards but it would be a bargain in any world city.
