Carrion de los Condes

Spain

Carrión de los Condes is a municipality in the province of Palencia, within the autonomous community of Castile and León, Spain. It lies in the northern part of the country, in the region historically known as Tierra de Campos.

The town is situated on the Camino de Frances, the French route of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. Its position along this historic route has shaped its development and given it a role as a stopping point for pilgrims crossing the province of Palencia.
