General description

The Sixth stage of the French road with Good Way Santiago begins in the vibrant city of León , a jewel full of History , Life and Culture . From here, we will embark on an unforgettable journey towards Ponferrada , a city whose imposing strength was erected by the Templars in the twelfth century.

Along the way, we will make a stop at Astorga , charming hill city known for its exquisite pastry , its famous chocolates , and architectural jewels such as the Pink Cathedral and the Museum of the Roads , dedicated to the pilgrimage.

After leaving Astorga behind, we will begin the ascent through the majestic Montes de León . In this mountainous stage we will cross picturesque rustic villages and cozy villages where the hospitality of the road feels in every corner.

One of the most symbolic moments of this section will be the visit to the Cruz de Hierro , where you can leave a memory or a stone as a symbol of your personal path. From there, we will continue to descend towards the fertile region of El Bierzo , surrounded by nature and tranquility.

Finally, we will arrive at Ponferrada , where its impressive Templar Castillo , a fortress that looks out of a medieval story awaits us.
