This is a flat, transitional stage between La Rioja and Castile: track and paths beside the N-120 through cereal fields, with frequent villages that have a bar and a fountain. Perfect for a relaxed day. Very easy by bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From La Rioja to Castile: Crossing into Burgos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On this stage you cross the border between regions and the landscape changes: vineyards give way to a rolling <strong>sea of cereal<\/strong> that already announces the meseta. The Camino strings together a series of <strong>tiny villages<\/strong> \u2014 Redecilla, Castildelgado, Viloria, Villamayor \u2014 that exist almost solely for and because of the pilgrim, with their fountains, churches and hostels.
