Frómista è il paese più a sud del cammino francese, e l’epicentro delle coltivazioni di grano di tutta la Spagna. Conobbe tempi floridi e bui nei secoli, per poi stabilizzarsi con la costruzione, nel tardo XVIII secolo, dei canali. Essi costituirono una svolta per l’irrigazione delle colture e un’abbondante fonte di energia grazie ai mulini.

In centro al paese si trova la Iglesia de San Martín, che fu sottoposta a un infausto restauro nel XIX secolo. Durante i lavori, infatti, molte delle opere d’arte in essa contenute vennero rimosse per questioni di decoro. Alcuni capitelli decorati rendono comunque una visita interessante, se non addirittura divertente. Le altre due chiese, San Pedro e Santa María del Castillo, sono generalmente aperte al pubblico.

Festività

San Telmo si celebra il lunedì successivo al lunedì di Pasquetta ed è festa grande a Frómista. Se la mancate, la festa minore di San Telmillo si celebra la domenica seguente. Santiago cade il 25 luglio e la Vergine di Otero l’8 settembre.

Il venerdì è giorno di mercato.

Storia

Pedro Gonzáles Telmo, santo patrono dei marinai e protagonista dell’espressione Fuoco di Sant’Elmo, viene da Frómista.

Il cammino

Per lasciare Frómista dovrete tornare indietro di qualche passo all’incrocio principale. Non vagate alla cieca in cerca dell’uscita e se avete in mente di andarvene prima dell’alba fatevi il favore di perlustrare in anticipo le strade in cerca delle frecce. Il percorso qui segue un sentiero di ghiaino, punteggiato da frequenti “hitos gemelli”, piazzati di dove in dove per scoraggiare i veicoli fuori strada dall’invaderlo.

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.

Very good albergue, nice welcoming, good beds, good hot showers and the best: HEATING AT NIGHT in winter!!!
There is also a full complete kitchen.

Do not go. Tried to overcharge us and fellow pilgrims. Too much a coincidence not to be policy. Most expensive meal so far, and sub standard (not terrible, but not worth the money by a long shot) I'm so mad I feel like calling the police. Its fraud!

I walked from the previous village and walked through at around 6.45am and everything was closed. I wasn’t massively optimistic at that time in the morning, but would have loved a coffee stop!

We just checked in. The proprietor is a very kind man. The showers are good and have little cubbies. There’s a nice outside courtyard where you can socialize and a place to hang laundry

Camino de Sant…

Saddest town - everything was closed
Restaurants and hotels were not great
Stayed at hotel San Martin which was clean but a bit expensive considering the amenities
However GO to LOS PALMEROS for food
They were friendly and helped accommodated vegetarian and gluten free options
