It’s not strange to see pilgrims passing through Lamasón; in fact, you may be one of them! That’s because we’re right in the middle of the Camino Lebaniego, one of the first pilgrimage routes with its own credentials. The reason so many people pass through is because they’re trying to reach the Monastery of Santo Toribio de Liébana where the Lignum Crucis—the largest fragment of the True Cross—is located. It’s an Año Jubilar (Holy Year) each time the day of Santo Toribio—April 16^th--falls on a Sunday.  

The Camino has divided into 3 legs although you can adapt it to your physical shape:

1. San Vicente de la Barquera - Cades
    ?  28,50 km

2. Cades - Cabañes
    ?  30,53 km

3. Cabañes - Monasterio de Santo Toribio
    ?  13,70 km

The Camino Lebaniego connects the north and French route of the Camino de Santiago via the Vadiniense Route. All of these routes have been named UNESCO World Heritage Sites. For more information, visit the website Camino Lebaniego

In the map attached, you can get the tracks of the 3 legs and you can active a layer to discover the sights along the Camino.

Come experience what it’s like to be a pilgrim for a day!
