Leaving the town of Léon there’s a bifurcation between the Camino Frances and the Camino de San Salvador. In front of the Plaza San Marco it is indicated with the signs. Just around the corner you’ll find the first “San Salvador” Sign.

Hiking

The Camino de San Salvador begins in León, specifically next to the old pilgrims' hospital of San Marcos. From there, pilgrims follow the traditional yellow arrows that guide them along the route. The first stage takes walkers from León to La Robla, covering approximately 27 kilometres.
