Crossing the Puente Fitero brings you into the province of Palencia. The bridge here has survived the centuries, though others to the south disappeared long ago — taking with them the pilgrim traffic whose commerce built several once-prosperous towns into their current obscurity.
Palencia is a transitional province. The meseta continues, but the landscape begins to show more variety — the Canal de Castilla introduces water features, and the Tierra de Campos ahead has a different quality to the plains around Burgos. The villages remain small and services thin, but the churches contain surprises that repay curiosity.
Palencia's food leans into lamb, lechazo (suckling lamb roasted in a wood oven), and the thick bean stews that sustained generations of meseta farmers.
