San Martín del Camino

San Martín del Camino presents itself as a welcoming stop on the Way of St Francis, at the transition from the Leonese Páramo to the fertile plain of the River Orbigo. This agrarian village offers the pilgrim a greener and more pleasant landscape, an anticipation of what will be found after Astorga. Its long main street, flanked by traditional houses, guides the walker and concentrates most services, including several hostels that are highly valued for their hospitality. San Martín del Camino is an ideal place for a restorative break, where the tranquility of the rural surroundings allows to replenish physical and mental forces. Its proximity to the historic Passo Honroso bridge in Hospital de Órbigo makes it a perfect prelude to one of the most legendary days on the Jacobean route.
