The ancient pilgrim path passes through Moratinos, a speck of a town, and Sahagun, where a king of Castille once lived and was buried, along with four of his wives.

Rebekah Scott, a former Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reporter, lives in the speck, and came across King Alfonso VI’s tomb several years ago.
