Stage Description

Leaving behind the monumental lion, this long stage enters the Leonese highlands. The route is flat and monotonous, a challenge for the pilgrim's mind. Arrival at Hospital of Órbigo, with its impressive medieval bridge, scene of a famous sword fight, is a final stage with legend. It's a journey that defines the experience of walking on the Meseta: solitude, effort, and the austere beauty of the plain.
The León to Hospital of Órbigo stage is a 33-kilometer long journey that ventures into the Leonese highlands. The path starts in León (810 m) and follows a mostly flat profile, with a gentle ascent towards Hospital de Órbigo (820 m). The route passes through a landscape of great beauty, with fields of grain and infinite horizons. It is an demanding walk due to its length, but it rewards with the beauty of its scenery and the tranquility of the surroundings. Arrival at Hospital de Órbigo, with its impressive medieval bridge, setting for a famous sword fight scene, is a stage finish with legend. This stage combines gentle exercise with rich historical experience, a perfect balance on the French Way.
