Day Seven Cue Sheet

Haro -Atapuerca (79.2 km)

A sizeable part of today’s ride goes along the N120 highway.Unless you’re riding a road bike, use the path thatruns parallel to the highwayfor most of the Camino between Santo Domingo de la Calzada and Tosantos. Most ofthe climbing happens at the end of the day, but the climbs are never more than 150 metres, with relatively suavegrades, and some amazing views of the Sierra de la Demanda. Thanks to the number of walkers and cyclists doingthe Camino, most towns have restaurants and fountains. In addition to pilgrims’ refuges, there are also hotels inSanto Domingo and Belorado, as well as a youth hostel and various

casas rurales

in Grañón.
