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.

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

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
