SPLIT : Itinéraire panoramique ou itinéraire routier

3.80

Valverde de la Virgen

En arrivant à la Basilica de la Virgen del Camino, tu traverseras la route fréquentée et tu continueras sur une petite route d'accès. Au bout de 300 m, tu as le choix entre deux itinéraires. La peinture des flèches jaunes est ici déroutante, et il n'y a aucune signalisation officielle pour indiquer les options qui s'offrent à toi. Les distances sont indiquées de La Virgen del Camino à Puente de Órbigo où elles convergent.

La ROUTE SCÉNIQUE - 27 KM

Cette variante s'appelle la route panoramique, et elle ajoute < 3 km à ton trajet. Elle est considérablement plus agréable et il y a maintenant beaucoup de services et d'albergues le long du chemin. Pour suivre cette route, tourne à gauche sur un chemin de terre.

La ROUTE - 24,6 KM

La route officielle du camino est souvent appelée route routière en raison de sa proximité avec la route. C'est le plus court des deux et il offre peu ou pas de tranquillité par rapport à la circulation. Pour emprunter cet itinéraire, continue tout droit.

I’ve been walking since SJPP and this walk from Leon to San Martin was by far the worst walk in the entire Camino. By a busy highway with trucks roaring past, path strewn with garbage and litter, walking through industrial wastelands. Just awful. Take the scenic route or if you are not a purist (ie must have continuous footsteps) take a bus to San Martin and spend the extra time in León. But do something to avoid this road walk. You’ve been warned!

Do take the scenic path! there are so many beautiful flowers along the road. Have taken lots of pictures.

We took the route on the road which was horrible, noisy and dirty. Not taking the scenic route meant we stayed in Villadangos.The food at the Pradera was just awful and the hostess at the Hostal Alto Paramo was so rude that we couldn’t recommend it as a place to stay. In summary, the town of Villadangos should be avoided.

Ok, I’ll admit, I read the reviews and thought ‘that’s just tired pilgrims’ opinions, how bad can it be!’ It’s bad, take the scenic route.. imagine not taking the river route to Burgos and multiply it by 50. There is no reason at all I can think of for anyone taking the ‘traditional’ route. There is nothing on this route people, I mean nothing. I stayed in Avenida Three hostel, if you don’t believe me then read that review too!

Unless you need urgent access to a highway or you are fond of studying international industrial building architecture, take the Scenic Route.

The Road Route says what it means on the tin. It’s by the road the entire time. It’s loud, busy & not much fun.

I got hassled for cash coming out of “Virgin” while I was popping thru the underpass. It was a little lonely & not super fun.

Can anyone tell me if the scenic and road routes are marked as to which is which? On the map it looks like the road route is the north one but hard to tell. I’m heading out of Leon tomorrow morning early and like to be prepared. Gracias!

Although not next to a buddy road this route is rough on feet due to being mostly on paved road. 😔

There was a map and then when paths separated signs in each direction

I took the scenic route and it was pleasant. Not sure why people complained? Not the petite walk off the Camino but perfectly fine.
