It has been posted frequently as a worthy endeavour while on the Camino to take side trips; i.e. to the Church in Eunate, or to the Monasteries Santo Domingo de Silos, or San Millan de Cogolla. These sights are not far from the Camino, but do require some awareness and planning ahead. I just found one such sight: the Roman Villa La Olmeda, not far from Terradillos de los Templarios and an outstanding place for those who love history, specially Roman sites. http://www.villaromanalaolmeda.com/portada?idSeccion=mi_0&lang=en
I was impressed by la Calzada Romana after Calzadilla de los Hermanillos (a bit evidence before as well) and rejoiced at the remains of the Roman villa in Astorga. This site in Pedrosa de la Vega is just AMAZING.
So, what side trip would you recommend?
