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.

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 Plaza del Grano in León, is one of the most charming and historic squares in the city. Also known as the Plaza de Santa María del Camino, this place has a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages. The name "Plaza del Grano" refers to the historical function of the square as a grain market. The square has retained its traditional cobblestones, which gives it an authentic medieval appearance. The square was also an important stop on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, where pilgrims rested before continuing their journey. The centerpiece of the Plaza del Grano is the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Mercado, a 12th century church with a beautiful Romanesque façade. The simplicity and authenticity of the architecture make the square particularly attractive. The Plaza del Grano comes alive during Semana Santa (Holy Week), when the square is the scene of important religious processions. The square remains a vibrant centre of local life, with markets where you can buy fresh produce and handmade crafts.

Small earthen houses that are beautiful to look at and somewhat reminiscent of hobbit caves from the LotR films. But here they are mainly used as wine cellars.
