Profile

Plains of adobe and brick

Hardly any climbing. The villages are small and the path runs beside the road for much of the day.

Tips

Good to know before you go

📜

Ask for the Sahagunina

At the sanctuary of La Peregrina in Sahagún they give you a certificate for completing half the Camino.

🌳

Senda or Roman road

Leaving Sahagún the path splits: the Senda goes via Bercianos, and the variant via Calzada del Coto follows a lonelier Roman road.

🛒

Shop in Sahagún

It is the last place with big supermarkets until Mansilla de las Mulas.
