Frómista er den sydligste by langs Camino Francés og epicentret for hvededyrkning i Spanien. Dens op- og nedture gennem århundrederne blev endelig stabiliseret med kanalernes ankomst i slutningen af det 18. århundrede; de bragte ordentlig kunstvanding og en rigelig strømkilde til møller.

I centrum af byen ligger Iglesia de San Martín, som gennemgik en ret uheldig renovering i det 19. århundrede. I processen blev mange af de mere kunstneriske elementer fjernet af hensyn til anstændigheden. En hel del dekorerede kapitæler gør besøget interessant, hvis ikke morsomt. To andre kirker, San Pedro og Santa María del Castillo, er generelt åbne for offentligheden.

Fiesta

San Telmo fejres mandagen efter 2. påskedag, og det er en ret stor begivenhed for Frómista. Hvis du går glip af den, er den mindre fejring for San Telmillo den følgende søndag. Santiago fejres den 25. juli, og Virgen of Otero fejres den 8. september.

Fredage er markedsdage.

History

Pedro Gonzáles Telmo, søfolkenes skytshelgen og navnebror til udtrykket Saint Elmo's Fire, kommer fra Frómista.

The Road

At forlade Frómista gøres ved at gå et par skridt tilbage til hovedkrydset, gå ikke i blinde gennem byen, og hvis du planlægger at tage af sted, før solen står op, så gør dig selv den tjeneste at spejde efter pile på forhånd. Stien her følger en grussti afbrudt af hyppige "twin hitos", der er placeret for at afskrække terrængående køretøjer fra at overtage stien.

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
