Note: Frómista was one of the pilgrimage sites on the route to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, home of the shrine dedicated to Saint James, the patron saint of Spain. The symbol of Saint James, the scalloped shell, became the primary symbol representing pilgrims. Various pilgrimage routes in the autonomous communities of Aragon, Navarre, and Castilla y León correspond to old Roman roads built in the northern portion of the Iberian Peninsula. Frómista became and important stop for pilgrims because there were four pilgrim-hospices, including one for the ill. A noteworth historic site in Frómista is the Church of San Martin.
