Camino Stage 4 - Leon to O Cebreiro

  • The wonderful city of Leon
  • Enjoying an endless succession of beautiful churches and buildings on the route.
  • The villages and mountains of Galicia.
  • Meeting fellow pilgrims, hearing their stories and travel tips along the way.
Walk from the beautiful city of Leon to O'Cebreiro on the Camino Frances. As you leave the plateau of Leon you will see the mountains up ahead as you head to Astorga. This part of the countryside is characterised by broom, heather, oak trees and conifer plantations. Continue your ascent towards Mount Irago before making your way down to the wealthy area of Bierzo. The final stage is challenging and involves a steep climb to O Cebreiro in the course of only a few kilometres.
