Mansilla de las Mulas → León

A stage of the Camino Francés

This 18.3 km Camino Francés stage covers modest terrain — 115 m up and 79 m down — but the real event is the arrival in León, one of the great cities along the route. The approach is largely suburban, but the destination more than compensates: León's Gothic cathedral, with its extraordinary collection of medieval stained glass, is one of the most celebrated buildings in Spain, and the city's old quarter rewards an unhurried afternoon or morning of exploration before moving on.
