The Monastery of San Pedro de Arlanza isn’t on the Camino del Cid but well worth a detour. Dedicated in 912, it’s one of the monasteries from the foundation of Castile. Abandoned in 1841 and now in a state of semi-ruin, work is now being done to maintain the spaces that time has left standing.
It’s a very nice walk along ancient paths through the forest but there are no waymarks and many crossing tracks so GPS is necessary.
