Sahagún to Castillo de los Templarios de Ponferrada transfer

The journey

Leaving from Sahagún y el Esla

South-east of the capital lie the León part of Tierra de Campos and the Esla valley: Sahagún, a stop on the Camino de Santiago with a railway station, and Valencia de Don Juan, by the river and its castle. They head small farming villages that rely on León for hospital care and on the capital or Benavente to leave the province.

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.

Castillo de los Templarios de Ponferrada, seen from León

The Templar castle overlooks Ponferrada beside the Sil river, in the old town and right on the Camino de Santiago. It is the city's main sight and a waypoint for many pilgrims.

On arrival: El Bierzo

El Bierzo is a basin ringed by mountains in the west of the province, with Ponferrada as its capital and Bembibre in the Upper Bierzo. It has its own hospital, vineyards with their own designation of origin and Las Médulas, and for many trips it looks to Galicia before León.

When demand peaks

• 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.
• Ponferrada Templar Night (July): The Templar Night fills Ponferrada's old town and the castle area with a parade and events that end late; the centre is closed to traffic and returns to the Bierzo villages bunch up in the early hours.

Tip: If you are leaving from El Bierzo, compare flights from Santiago or Asturias before booking to Barajas: depending on the destination, the airport run can be much shorter.
