History and what to see
An urban exit through Trobajo and La Virgen del Camino, with its modern sanctuary and Subirachs sculptures. From here two options: the historic route via Villadangos del Páramo and San Martín del Camino beside the road, or the quieter Villar de Mazarife variant. The stage crosses the flat, irrigated Leonese Páramo.
