Stage Description
This stage marks the end of the Meseta and the expected arrival at one of the major capitals on the Camino Francés: León. The route is predominantly flat, but the landscape changes dramatically as you leave rural surroundings to enter urban periphery. Despite the potentially tedious final kilometers, the reward is immense. The entry into the historic old town of León and the view of its majestic Gothic Cathedral, the "Pulchra Leonina", is one of the most exciting moments on the pilgrimage.
