September pilgrims.

[Rebekah Scott]

Rosina's right. That church is a gem; it's worth bringing along a little spyglass so you can more clearly see the capitals. It also has a fabulous Souls in Purgatory, methinks! (You'll be glad you have one, too, at Santo Domingo de la Calzada, and Fromista, and Roncesvalles, and Santiago!)

One other item not to miss at San Juan de Orbigo is the morcilla sausage served at the little bar integral to the monastery/refugio. It's right up there with the morcilla served at La El Bicha in Leon...I think it may even be better! It's not an architectural wonder like the church next door, but it's a delight all its own...especially with a cold glass of San Miguel cerveza. (when you get to Burgos, have a big platter of champignons planchada!)
