'Meseta Plateau: a place for meditation'. This Walking Holiday explores the fifth section of the Camino Frances / French Way, the most traditional of all the pilgrims' ways to Santiago de Compostela and the best known internationally. Start from Sahagun, a medieval town renowned for its architecture, and finish in Leon, one of the greatest cities in Spain. The Camino de Santiago, or Way of Saint James, crosses the vast Castilian Plateau (900m) and passes through its wealthy villages. Everyday, during the walk, you are guaranteed a high level of comfort and gastronomy. The Camino de Santiago is clearly marked with the “Scallop Shell” showing you the way. This walk can be physically demanding and requires a reasonable level of fitness. However, it’s a highly rewarding walk that includes numerous cultural highlights.
Highlights:
♦ Sahagun – a town, notable for containing some of the earliest examples of the mudéjar style of architecture
♦ Leon - last major city in the Camino de Santiago before it climbs west into the mountains
♦ Cathedral Santa María de Leon - a masterpiece of the Gothic style, dominating the mid-13th century
