Se decidete di fermarvi a Sahagún per la notte, fate del vostro meglio per esplorare il paese; non sarà il posto più bello al mondo, ma ha il suo perché, con inaspettati gioielli d’architettura nascosti qua e là, a testimonianza di un passato illustre. Un tempo Sahagún rivaleggiava con Burgos e León per importanza e magnificenza.

Per ragioni sconosciute il tratto di cammino che attraversa il paese non passa accanto a nessuno degli edifici che vale la pena vedere, e nemmeno per la piazza principale. Se volete esplorarlo dovrete lasciare il sentiero ufficiale (strada alternativa in verde sulla mappa).

Attenzione

È possibile ritirare un attestato molto carino al Santuario de la Virgen Peregrina, sulla strada per Sahagún; una specie di Compostela di metà strada. Guardate sulla mappa dov’è localizzata, poiché non si trova esattamente sul cammino.

Festività

Il giorno del mercato è il sabato. I pellegrini invernali potranno partecipare ai festeggiamenti di San Tirso il 28 gennaio. San Juan de Sahagún è il 12 e il 13 giugno. La Fiesta de Peregrina il 2 luglio e San Lorenzo il 9 e il 10 agosto.

Storia

Sahagún deve il suo nome al martire del IV secolo San Facundo, sepolto qui vicino assieme a San Primitivo. Qui ebbero luogo numerose battaglie tra cristiani e moreschi; alla fine vinsero i cristiani, ma non prima che la città fosse passata da un dominio all’altro almeno cinque volte. Ognuno di questi passaggi vide la distruzione di diverse chiese e la loro successiva ricostruzione. Oggi solo 4 delle 9 chiese originali sopravvivono.

Had our accommodation booked through a booking agency. This was cancelled, and an alternative place was provided. This place was the Domero Hotel. Please don't take any notice of the recent negative reviews. This hotel is under new management. It's clean and warm, and the manager Axel is so friendly and welcoming. He has 2 pugs with him at reception. They are gorgeous. Being pug parents in the past, it was fate that brought us here.

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.
