Santa Elena de Jamuz has been a pottery center for centuries. The local tradition produces unglazed terracotta with simple, functional forms -- water jugs, cooking pots, storage vessels. A few workshops still operate, continuing a craft that predates the camino itself. If you pass through and see ceramics for sale, they're the real thing.
The camino skirts the edge of the village without entering it.
