Si elige pasar la noche en Sahagún, haga todo lo posible para explorar la ciudad, no es el lugar más bonito, pero hay algunas joyas escondidas que le dan una idea de su ilustre pasado. En un momento rivalizó con Burgos León en importancia y grandeza.

Por razones desconocidas, el ayuntamiento ha trazado el camino a través de la ciudad de una manera que omite casi todos los edificios que valen la pena

viendo, y que pasa por alto la plaza mayor por completo. Si quieres explorar tendrás que dejar el camino marcado; consulta la alternativa verde en el mapa.

Notice

Un certificado muy bonito está disponible en el Santuario de la Virgen Peregrina a su salida de Sahagún, un tipo de Compostela a medio camino. Vea el mapa para la ubicación, ya que no está en el camino propiamente dicho.

Fiesta

El día del mercado es sábado. Los peregrinos de invierno pueden celebrar San Tirso el 28 de enero. San Juan de Sahagún los días 12 y 13 de junio. Fiesta de Peregrina el 2 de julio, y San Lorenzo los días 9 y 10 de agosto.

History

Sahagún debe su nombre al mártir del siglo IV San Facundo, que junto con San Primitivo fueron enterrados cerca. Debido a esto, ha visto más que su parte de batallas entre cristianos y musulmanes. Aunque los cristianos finalmente ganaron, no fue antes de que la ciudad cambiara de manos no menos de cinco veces. Cada rotación vio la destrucción de iglesias y su reconstrucción. Hoy en día solo sobreviven 4 de las 9 iglesias originales.

Follow arrows on road, do not go into the playground
It will pit you back on track

I had to make a last-minute booking in Sahagún due to a foot problem. The 3rd week in May 2024 on the Camino has been chilly, good for pilgrims but not good when the hotel won’t turn heat on until 6 pm. Today at 2 pm it was 13c/55f outside and colder inside the hotel. They advertise air conditioning, but if you have guests in the hotel, shouldn’t heat be an option in the rooms too?

I highly recommend staying at the Hostal- Albergue Sahagun. It’s a great place and the hosts are so welcoming and kind. I stayed there for a few extra days and it was really fun. Great food and atmosphere.

As noted in Wise Pilgrim’s notes on Sahagún, an attractive halfway certificate is available at the Santuario de la Virgen Peregrina. The cost (May 2023) is 4€ including a cardboard tube.
The certificate is NOT available at the Oficina de Turismo and the staff there seem a little tired of being asked for one.

Stop at the Oficina de Turismo de Sahagún (also the muni albergue) to get the halfway certificate! €3 plus €1 if you want a cardboard tube to put it in.

We stayed here last year in a twin room with bathroom and made a bee line for them this year. You will never experience a more pilgrim orientated stay on the Camino. Our private room cost 10 euros each, the bunks are 6. Breakfast is help yourself and leave a donation and mass for those who wish to go. Super clean quiet and comfortable with a really tranquil atmosphere. Perfect to recharge you batteries. The eving meal is included in the price, basic but good, please note, not on a Sunday.

The compostela is not available at the church. I went there today and had to walk back into town to the biblioteca, library, in Plaza de Santiago to get it. It looks well and is printed in colour so I went across the road from the library to the post office, correos, and posted it home as I didn't want to damage it.
