This was due to the Muslim\n    conquest of various territories in the Hispanic peninsula. Once the\n    Christian armies had begun the Reconquest, the lands of Li\u00e9bana were\n    considered safe within the reconquered territories.\n  <\/p>\n  <p>\n    It was during this beginning of the Reconquest that\n    <strong>several Christian monasteries were founded<\/strong> in the Asturian\n    area, among them the monastery of San Mart\u00edn de Turieno, which would later\n    be called the monastery of Santo Toribio de Li\u00e9bana.\n  <\/p>\n  <p>\n    On 23 September 1512, Pope Julius II <strong>declared<\/strong>, by means of\n    a bull, the right to celebrate the <strong>Lebaniego Jubilee Year.<\/strong>\n  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"section-post\" id=\"Curiosidades\">\n  <h2 id=\"Curiosidades\">CURIOSITIES OF THE CAMINO LEBANIEGO<\/h2>\n  <h3 id=\"A\u00f1o-Jubilar-Lebaniego\">THE LEBANIEGO HOLY JUBILEE YEAR<\/h3>\n  <p>\n    Like all other Jubilee years, it consists of a\n    <strong>period of indulgence for sins<\/strong> linked to a pilgrimage route.\n    In addition to the Lebaniego, there are other Jubilee Years such as those of\n    Santiago de Compostela, Rome or Jerusalem.\n  <\/p>\n  <h4>Conditions for indulgence<\/h4>\n  <ul>\n    <li>\n      <strong>Praying:<\/strong>\n      <ul>\n        <li>The Our Father (as a sign that we return to the Father God)<\/li>\n        <li>The Creed (as a renewal of our faith)<\/li>\n        <li>A prayer for the Pope (Our Father, Hail Mary)<\/li>\n      <\/ul>\n    <\/li>\n    <li>\n      <strong>Confession<\/strong>: On or around the day of the pilgrimage (15\n      days before or after)\n    <\/li>\n    <li>\n      <strong>Witness the &#8220;Pilgrim&#8217;s Mass&#8221;<\/strong>: This takes place during the\n      Jubilee year at 12:00 noon every day in the Monastery of Santo Toribio.\n    <\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <h4 id=\"Lignum-Crucis\">Dates<\/h4>\n  <p>\n    It is celebrated every time the Feast of Santo Toribio,\n    <strong>16 April, falls on a Sunday.<\/strong> The last year it was held was\n    2017 and the next one will be held in 2023.

Lebaniego starts in the town of\n    <strong>San Vicente de la Barquera<\/strong>, very close to the capital of\n    the Cantabrian region, and in turn of the\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pilgrim.es\/en\/northern-way\/\">Camino del Norte<\/a>.\n  <\/p>\n  <p>\n    From this road, which runs along the entire coastline of northern Spain, we\n    now head in the direction of the Picos de Europa, so that what were once\n    coasts and seascapes now become <strong>mountainous landscapes<\/strong> with\n    pronounced vegetation.\n  <\/p>\n  <p>\n    One of the main reasons for making the pilgrimage to the Monastery of Santo\n    Toribio, apart from getting the Lebaniega, is to appreciate the incredible\n    landscapes of great beauty that this Camino Lebaniego leaves us.\n  <\/p>\n  <h3>MONASTERY OF SANTO TORIBIO<\/h3>\n  <p>\n    This route ends at this monastery, so if you finish it, you will be able to\n    contemplate this beautiful 6th century Gothic-style building, which\n    <strong>was declared a National Monument<\/strong> on 11 August 1953.\n  <\/p>\n  <p>\n    It is now <strong>home to 4 people<\/strong>, four Franciscan monks who\n    promulgate the will of God and Christianity in this historic building, which\n    was very important at the time of the reconquest.\n  <\/p>\n  <div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n    <figure
