Puente de Castro has grown large enough to merge with León's outer barrio of Santa Ana. The bridge gives the neighborhood its name, and the approach through the suburbs has plenty of bars for a rest before the final few kilometers to the center.
The urban walking from here into central León isn't unpleasant — just long.
History
The name derives from the old Jewish quarter (castro) that once stood here. The community was destroyed in 1196 during a period of anti-Jewish violence. The bridge that replaced the crossing retains the name.
