Retortillo is the site of Juliobriga, a Roman city founded in the 1st century BC during the Cantabrian Wars. The archaeological site and museum are right on the camino. You can walk freely around the ruins, and the adjacent church's bell tower offers views over the excavations. The museum provides context on daily life in this northern Roman outpost.

There is a very lovely dog in this town who just loooves to go got a walk with pilgrims. He followed me for 6 km after which I didn’t know what to do with him. Had to ask the people in the next town for help.
