La Bañeza is in Tierra de La Bañeza. What the area is like and what trips start there

Which way it goes

Internal trips in León province are long and often through the mountains: from Villablino to the capital, or from El Bierzo to León, means crossing passes. The most requested trips are from the towns to the León or El Bierzo hospitals, to León station and to Camino de Santiago stages, where public transport does not reach or runs only a few times a day.

Estación de León, seen from León

León station is by the Bernesga river, a short walk from the centre, with high-speed trains to Madrid via Palencia and Valladolid and to Asturias through the Pajares base tunnel. It is the whole province's link to fast trains, so many travellers come in from El Bierzo or the mountains.

On arrival: León y su alfoz

The city of León and San Andrés del Rabanedo, right next to it on the west, work as a single city in practice. Together they hold the province's main hospital, the high-speed station, the university and the cathedral, and they are where half the province comes for appointments and paperwork.

When demand peaks

• Holy Week in León (Easter week): León's Holy Week, of international tourist interest, fills the old town with processions day and night and closes many central streets. It is best to set the pickup outside the procession routes and book holiday departures early.
• The French Way in León (spring to autumn, especially summer): The French Way crosses the province through Sahagún, León, Astorga and Ponferrada, and in season many pilgrims need to reach the start of a stage, skip a section or get home from the station.

Tip: For Las Médulas, allow plenty of time for the return: walks around the site tend to take longer than planned and there is no alternative transport if the pickup is missed.
