Per una colazione sul presto cercate la strada principale (a sud-est della chiesa), dove troverete qualche bar che accoglie i pellegrini (e i camionisti) più mattinieri.

La Chiesa di Santa María de la Asunción, situata nella piazza principale, è qualcosa di magnifico.

Festività

Sabato è il giorno del mercato. La gente locale festeggia il patrono di Santa María dal 14 al 20 agosto.

Storia

Los Arcos, un paesino la cui origine risale all’occupazione romana, è organizzato in lunghe vie che corrono parallele al Río Odrón. Arrivando dal cammino, farete il vostro ingresso nella parte nord del paese; sulla cima delle colline ad est, invece, era situato un tempo il castello.

È un paese di frontiera (Logroño è abbastanza vicina) che vide sia un periodo di distruzione (per mano della nobiltà latifondista), sia di prosperità (ogni attraversata del confine significava il pagamento di un pedaggio, il cambio di moneta e probabilmente un’imposta aggiuntiva per ogni cavallo).

Il cammino

Uscendo da Los Arcos, si passa sotto all’Arco di Felipe V e si attraversa il Río Odrón. Alcuni degli albergues in paese si trovano sulla riva ovest del fiume.

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.

Be careful not to go there as their next step is to charge you entry, I mean an empanadas for € 7.... Really??
Are we in Dubai????

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!
