Camino Francés · Stage 18 of 33
You enter the province of León and reach Sahagún, halfway between Roncesvalles and Santiago, a town of brick Romanesque. Then a path lined with trees planted for pilgrims leads to Bercianos.
Profile
Hardly any climbing. The villages are small and the path runs beside the road for much of the day.

Tips
At the sanctuary of La Peregrina in Sahagún they give you a certificate for completing half the Camino.
Leaving Sahagún the path splits: the Senda goes via Bercianos, and the variant via Calzada del Coto follows a lonelier Roman road.
It is the last place with big supermarkets until Mansilla de las Mulas.
Choose how many kilometres you want to walk each day and Suseia splits the route from Terradillos de los Templarios to Santiago into stages based on the albergues in each town. Free and without signing up.
