It is 306 km from <a\n            href=\"https:\/\/www.pilgrim.es\/santiago-de-compostela\/\">Santiago de Compostela<\/a>, usually divided into 13 stages.<\/p>\n\n    <h5>You might also like: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pilgrim.es\/camino-de-santiago-desde-ponferrada\/\">Camino de Santiago from Ponferrada<\/a><\/h5>\n\n    <p>The entire route to Santiago is not overly difficult, with an average daily distance of 24-25 km, feasible for\n        most\n        pilgrims. Looking at its elevation profile, the most challenging part is the ascent to <a\n            href=\"https:\/\/www.pilgrim.es\/camino-frances\/o-cebreiro\/\">O Cebreiro<\/a>, iconic place in the French Way. This climb can be a little tough,\n        especially in wintertime, when the snow can prevent pilgrims from walking. This is\n        how, centuries ago, another of the main routes emerged, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pilgrim.es\/camino-invierno\/\">Winter Way<\/a>, so-called\n        because it turned towards the south of Galicia, avoiding the snowy climb.<\/p>\n\n    <p>Nowadays, even in winter, this ascent is manageable thanks to modern gear and much better <a\n

After defeating the Arabs at the Battle of San\n        Esteban de Gormaz, the king donated this building with the aim of constructing the first cathedral on the site.\n        It was by order of Princess Urraca, sister of Fernando I, that construction began on a new building made\n        entirely of brick and masonry.<\/p>\n\n    <p>This cathedral remained completely intact until the end of the 12th century, when Alfonso IX came to the throne\n        and ordered the construction of the current building. This new building consisted of three naves between the\n        entrance and the transept, extending to five naves between the transept and the high altar. These naves were all\n        covered with ribbed vaults. The interior was topped off with a large apse.<\/p>\n\n    <h3 class=\"mt-4 mb-3\">Plaza Mayor<\/h3>\n\n    <p>The Plaza Mayor is the main square in the town, both for being the leisure hub and administrative centre. Its\n        construction took place over two periods: first, from 1654 to 1672, projected by Antonio Ambrosio, and a second\n        one from 1677, when Francisco del Pi\u00f1al decided to remodel it after a fire.<\/p>\n    <p>\n        Nowadays, the arcades and half-storey houses remain and continue to house the market, while leisure\n        establishments proliferate under the columns.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <h3 class=\"mt-4 mb-3\">Convent of San Marcos<\/h3>\n\n    <p>The Convent of San Marcos was built thanks to a donation made by Princess Lady Sancha in the 12th century, aimed\n        at creating a hospital outside the city to host pilgrims on their way to Santiago.<\/p>\n\n    <p>\n        Noteworthy features of this building include its Plateresque style fa\u00e7ade with austere features. The building is\n        divided into three sections, the third being a decorative openwork floral motif. The most interesting features\n        of the complex are the two niches located in each of the church&#8217;s towers.\n    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"la-aventura-te-espera\" class=\"section-post\">\n    <h2 class=\"mt-5 mb-3\">Adventure awaits<\/h2>\n\n    <p>We hope that all this information on doing the Camino from Le\u00f3n will motivate and give you the necessary support\n        to embark on this adventure and enjoy the magic of the Camino de Santiago.<\/p>\n\n    <p>Should you need help planning your experience, we will be at your disposal.
