Si vous choisissez de passer la nuit à Sahagún, faites de votre mieux pour explorer la ville, ce n'est pas le plus joli des endroits mais il y a quelques joyaux qui se cachent et qui vous donnent un aperçu de son illustre passé. À une époque, elle rivalisait avec Burgos et León en termes d'importance et de grandeur.

Pour des raisons inconnues, la mairie a dessiné le chemin du camino à travers la ville de manière à sauter presque tous les bâtiments qui valent .

Voir, et qui contourne entièrement la plaza mayor. Si tu veux explorer, tu devras quitter le chemin balisé ; voir l'alternative verte sur la carte.

Notice

Un très beau certificat est disponible auprès du Santuario de la Virgen Peregrina à la sortie de Sahagún, une sorte de mi-chemin de Compostelle. Voir la carte pour l'emplacement, car ce n'est pas sur le camino proprement dit.

Fiesta

Le jour du marché est le samedi. Les pèlerins d'hiver peuvent célébrer San Tirso le 28 janvier. San Juan de Sahagún les 12 et 13 juin. Fiesta de Peregrina le 2 juillet, et San Lorenzo les 9 et 10 août.

History

Sahagún doit son nom au martyr du 4ème siècle San Facundo, qui avec San Primitivo ont été enterrés à proximité. Pour cette raison, elle a connu plus que sa part de batailles entre chrétiens et musulmans. Bien que les chrétiens aient fini par l'emporter, ce n'est pas avant que la ville ait changé de mains pas moins de cinq fois. Chaque changement a vu la destruction des églises et leur reconstruction. Aujourd'hui, seules 4 des 9 églises d'origine survivent.

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.

It’s located at the municipal library, not the church

I ended up staying at Hostal Escarcha for 3 nights in May 2022 because I tested positive for Covid. It turned out to be a nice place to recover. Nice view of the courtyard from my window. A nice double bed and pillow that stretched across the bed or you could fold in half. Each room had it's own bathroom with shower. Had 2 night stands, a desk and chair. It's been around around awhile. It used to have a bar downstairs. The room also had a TV that also played radio stations, tho the tv stations were understandably only in Spanish. There's a supermercado a few blocks and one of the main plaza is a block away. Outlet next to the bed with dual light switches. Was clean and came with large towels and sheets and comforter. I would definitely stay there again and maybe see some of the sights this time.

Have dinner in the Plaza Mayor and enjoy the scene as multiple generations converge for a strong social, family scene. Well worth staying over for.

Don‘t get the halfpoint certificate! Not worth it! You pay 3€ „entrance fee“ to visit the museum and when you are finished the lady at the ticket office just prints out the certificate with your name on it (which is included in the entrance fee). Simple Word Document. Nothing special.

All I’ve wanted for the past month was a filet mignon and a couple old fashions. So I tried this place. The tenderloin is par for the course. But if you decide to eat here, it’s worth it only for the service that Diego provides. World-class service, outstanding beverages, tailor made to your whim and free pour with Diego. If you do come here, and if you do see Diego, tell him first thing: “solo el cielo es mejor que una excelente bebida.” You will be well cared for. Don’t forget to tip kindly. If you can afford to eat here, they need the money more than you do.
