The archaeologists who carry out the inspection and possible rescue prior to the expansion of the A-12 motorway, between Santo Domingo de la Calzada and Villamayor have found a huge Visigothic necropolis, from VI or VII century, near Grañón (first thought was that they have discovered a mass grave from the Spanish Civil War, but not...). See newspaper note here.
Precise place is not indicated, but, seeing the photos, it was possibly here (in Google Maps, look at a distinctive building and Grañón's church in the background). If my guess is right, it is close to the Camino, a short distance after we leave the current highway to the left and follow the local road to the village.
This suggests that the Camino follows a very, very old route. I hope that at some point a museum will be established; I guess that besides human remains, there will be ceramics, weapons, etc.
