A former stop on the Camino de Santiago, now part of the city of León but with its own distinct character. Its streets still bear traces of the old pilgrimage route, and adobe and stone houses can still be seen among modern buildings. The name comes from "Trovajo," referring to the workshops and trades that were concentrated here when pilgrims needed repairs before continuing their journey. Despite the traffic and the passage of time, it remains a place where history walks alongside daily life.

This building in Leon, known as "Casa Botines," takes us back to the late 19th century. Designed by the still-famous and esteemed architect Antoni Gaudi (1852-1926), it was originally conceived and built as a residential and commercial building, but now serves as a museum.

By choosing this name, the bishopric of Leon pays tribute to a saint whose name will be familiar to the many pilgrims who pass through here on the “Camino frances”, because some time before (in the autonomous region of La Rioja) they reached the town named after him, Santo Domingo de la Calzada, also a very famous destination on the approximately 800-kilometer-long pilgrimage route from the Pyrenees to the tomb of the apostle in Santiago de Compostela in Galicia.

The Church of Santa Engracia in Valverde de la Virgen is a significant place of worship in the region of León. Built in 1987, this church preserves the tower of the old church on its exterior, which stands out for its curious two-body bell gable and numerous stork nests. The church is an important reference point for locals and pilgrims who travel the Camino de Santiago.

The Church of Chozas de Abajo is located in the central square of the town, next to the House of Culture. It is a modern and simple construction, with a bell tower that stands out for its artistic design and breaks with traditional rules. This church is an important landmark in the town and is part of local festivities, such as the Fiestas de San Martín on November 11 and the Fiesta del Verano on August 10.

The Project - G. San Millán in Villar de Mazarife is a work of art located in this small town in the province of León. This project is known for its magnificent mural that welcomes pilgrims who travel the French Way. The mural is located at the entrance of the town and is one of the highlights for visitors and pilgrims.

The Plaza de Santo Domingo is the heart of the city, a large roundabout around which the social, commercial and historical life of León revolves. Created in 1904 during the expansion process, better known as the ensanche, it became a strategic point for linking the Old Town with the modern part of the city.
