You enter the Maragatería, a land of reddish stone villages. Castrillo de los Polvazares, just off the route, is one of the best preserved. The climb towards the Montes de León is gentle but steady. Rabanal del Camino is small and has a special atmosphere; the monks sing vespers in its church in the evening.
