Mansilla de las Mulas

Mansilla de las Mulas is a historic locality on the Camino de Santiago, known for its well-preserved medieval walls and rich history. Founded in the 10th century, the town served as a defensive stronghold during the Reconquista, a period of Christian reconquest against the Moors. The town's name, "Mansilla de las Mulas," is derived from its role as a center for mule trade during the Middle Ages. As a stop on the Camino de Santiago, Mansilla de las Mulas has long provided shelter and services for pilgrims. The town's Santa María Church, built in the 12th century, is a notable example of Romanesque architecture and a testament to the importance of the Camino during that time. Today, Mansilla de las Mulas continues to welcome pilgrims, offering accommodations and amenities to support their journey.
