Santo Domingo de la Calzada

A legendary stage on the Camino

Santo Domingo de la Calzada is one of the most iconic stops on the Camino Francés and one of the most historically rich towns in La Rioja. Its cathedral houses the famous Miracle of the Rooster and the Hen: a live white rooster and hen inside the cathedral, in remembrance of a medieval miracle.

The town preserves its walls, its cobbled old quarter and the spirit of Jacobean hospitality that has defined it for centuries. It also has a Parador Nacional housed in the former pilgrim hospital.

From Casa Rural Río Tirón you can get there in just 15 minutes by car, making it the ideal base to enjoy Santo Domingo without the crowds of the centre.
