The Crucero de Santo Toribio is a natural viewpoint located in San Justo de la Vega, about five kilometers before reaching Astorga, León. From this point, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city of Astorga and the Montes de León.
Legend has it that Santo Toribio, bishop of Astorga in the 5th century, stopped at this place when he was forced to leave the city. Looking towards Astorga for the last time, he shook his sandals and exclaimed: "From Astorga, not even the dust." Later, the city named him its patron saint. 🌄⛪
