Convento de San Marcos walks

León is a city steeped in history and full of monuments to discover. Without a doubt, the cathedral is the number one sight to see in León. A colossal monument that dominates the city from above and captivates simply by its presence. In addition to this monumental building, you can explore the Royal Collegiate Church of San Isidoro, Casa Botines, the Palacio de los Guzmanes, the Roman and medieval walls, and the Convent of San Marcos. And if you have time, do take a stroll through the Húmedo and Romántico districts to soak up the atmosphere around the tapas bars. I visited this city at the end of the sixty-third stage of my Camino de Santiago.

Do you want to commune with nature, admire its beauty at the slow pace of walking, walk to get to know yourself better, get back to basics, push yourself: set off on an adventure along the Camino de Santiago. That’s what I’m offering you with this route. I set off from my village in the Jura (the first six stages are not part of the signposted routes of the Camino de Santiago) to reach Santiago de Compostela in Spain, but there’s nothing stopping you from setting off from your own home to join the route at any stage, starting from Le Puy-en-Velay or any other town along the way. .
