Tardajos is the first village after Burgos and a common breakfast stop. A few bar-bakeries on the right as you enter serve Torta de Aceite — a type of flatbread made with olive oil that's unique to the area and worth trying. A pharmacy is also on the main road.
The village sits at the intersection of two ancient trade routes, a position that made it more important than its current size suggests. Most pilgrims pass through quickly, but the bakeries alone justify a pause.
San Isidro Labrador (not to be confused with San Isidoro of León) is celebrated on May 15.
Tardajos lies at the junction of two primary ancient roads — the east-west pilgrim route and a north-south commercial road. This crossroads position attracted settlement since Roman times and made the village a strategic point for controlling trade and troop movements across the meseta.
The camino departs the main road in Tardajos — don't be tempted to stay on the asphalt. Cross the street and pass through the village. From here you won't return to a busy road until Frómista. The terrain ahead is flat, open meseta.
