Plaza Mayor Building Facades
Highlight • Monument
As it could not be otherwise, the most notable building in the square is the Town Hall, baroque from 1765, topped by a clock with its famous maragatos.
Another of the buildings worth visiting in this square is the Apothecary, which still preserves shelves and pharmacy bottles from the beginning of the last century. In addition, the square is the scene of fairs and markets.
In our case we stopped to have a beer and tapas something before continuing our route. I recommend buying chocolate and shortbread.

Cross and Camino Marker Near El Ganso
Highlight • Religious Site
So I wish that many people … visit the crosses, whether as places of stillness and breathing space before God, whether as places for community gatherings, prayer and praise to God.”

Camino de Santiago Kilometer Marker 260.5 – León
Highlight • Monument
Yellow arrows: These arrows will guide you throughout the entire route. They indicate the direction to follow, especially at crossroads. The yellow color is due to the contribution of the parish priest Elías Valiña, a key figure in the resurgence of the Camino de Santiago in the 20th century.
Cairns or milestones: These concrete blocks include an arrow, a yellow shell on a blue background and the distance in kilometers to Santiago de Compostela. You will find them every 500 meters in Galicia.
Scallop shells: In addition to being drawn on the markers, scallop shells are distributed throughout the Camino. They are universal symbols and have been carried by pilgrims for centuries. The open part of the shell indicates the direction towards Santiago.
Good way! 🚶♂️🌟
