Stage Description
This is the inaugural stage of the Forgotten Path from León. The journey begins saying goodbye to the majestic Cathedral and entering a landscape that transitions from urban to rural. The path follows largely the course of the Bernesga River, with a gentle but constant ascent serving as preparation for the harsh mountain stages ahead. Arrival in La Robla, a village with a mining past, marks the end of an acclimatization day at the foot of the Cantabrian Mountains.
The Forgotten Way from León offers an alternative to the French Way. This first stage is a transition that moves the pilgrim away from the Meseta and brings him closer to the imposing Cantabrian Mountains. The departure from León is a long urban stretch that gradually gives way to a riverbank landscape following the course of the Bernesga River.
