'''Tosantos''' is a [[Municipalities of Spain|municipality]] and town located in the [[Burgos (province)|province of Burgos]], [[Castile and León]], Spain. According to the 2004 [[census]] ([[Instituto Nacional de Estadística (Spain)|INE]]), the municipality has a population of 60 inhabitants.  Tosantos is located on the Camino de Santiago de Compostela, a 1200-year-old pilgrimage route that runs through France and Northern Spain to the Spanish city of Santiago.  The hamlet has a pilgrim hostel which is open from April through October and hosts up to 50 pilgrims a night.
800 years ago a woman, known as La Ermita,  lived in a cave in the cliffs above Tosantos and ministered to the passing Pilgrims.  A chapel has been built into that cave and once a year, on Fiesta day, the inhabitants of Tosantos hold a procession through the town, up the winding path to the cave and give thanks to God, Santa Maria and La Ermita for blessing the town.
