La Caridad takes its name from the charity the town showed pilgrims in the 19th century — before that it was San Miguel de Mohíces. The sentiment apparently stuck.
Services are plentiful for pilgrims. The camino follows the old N-634 through town. Just before it merges with the new N-634, arrows lead left onto a different road toward Valdepares.
San Miguel, patron of La Caridad, is celebrated on the 29th of September. Market day is Tuesday.
The way through La Caridad is entirely along the old N-634 which will eventual meet up with the new N-634. Just before it does, the camino leaves both roads to follow a different road to the left. You will return to and cross the N-634 on the way into Valdepares, and you will then return to and cross it once more on the way out of Valdepares.

There are significant numbers of what look to be old shell symbols set in the pavement to the left as you face oncoming traffic. They point in the wrong direction. Look out for the newer symbols, which do point in the correct direction.
