Castrillo-Tejeriego is a municipality in the province of Valladolid, in the comarca of the Páramos del Esgueva, at 801 metres above sea level and with an area of almost 36 km². It has 157 inhabitants devoted mainly to farming, with the occasional flock of sheep; in early March it holds a public pig slaughter, and in the mid-19th century it had 369 inhabitants, a figure that even in 1991 still exceeded 300. Its main church is dedicated to Santa María Magdalena, and it also has the shrine of Nuestra Señora de Capilludos, where on the third day of Pentecost a well-attended feast is celebrated.
The pilgrimage of Capilludos
