The pine and oak forests of the Oca pass

Nature · Villafranca Montes de Oca, Montes de Oca, Burgos

The ridge is walked among plantation pine woods and native oak forest, with an undergrowth of ferns and heather. The thickness gave the stretch its medieval fame, held to be the most dangerous of the Camino because of assaults by bandits.
