Pajares

Legendary mountain port that joins Leon and Asturias. The Port of Pajares is the great challenge of the Way of Salvador, a geographical landmark that rewards the pilgrim with unforgettable alpine landscapes.

Discover Pajares

The Pajares Pass is more than a mountain pass; it's the heart and the great challenge of the Way of St. James. This historic port, which reaches almost 1,400 meters in altitude, marks the natural border between León and Asturias, offering an alpine landscape of breathtaking beauty. For the pilgrim, crowning Pajares is a milestone of personal overcoming, an exhausting journey rewarded with panoramic views of the Cantabrian Mountains. The area, often covered in snow in winter, has been a crucial communication route for centuries. Although services at the top are scarce, the sense of achievement and immersion in the most wild nature make this stretch one of the most memorable experiences on all the Jacobean routes.
