This small, stone-built sacred monument, located in a highly exposed location, is named after "Santo Toribio." The cross, which rises above a multi-tiered base and a round column shaft, is dedicated to this 5th-century saint. The custom of placing a stone – actually common at the "Cruz de Ferro" – seems to have become established here as well. Besides the religious aspect, a stop on this hill is also worthwhile for the view; Astorga is about five kilometers away.

A small "Cruz de Ferro" is a very pleasant place to rest. But the path is not recommended for cycling.

After the iron bridge you will find a fountain where you can cool off and take the required photo that will remind you that you are close to Astorga. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MqGOnWb_s5k

Santa Elena de Jamuz is a small rural town along the river. There are many walking trails along the river and irrigation system. The Plaza de Constitution is a good place to park and start your adventure.

Leonese town in the traditional region of La Valduerna. The birth of the city is dated from the 9th century, which shows the historical importance of this town. Architecturally, we can highlight the churches of San Salvador and Santa María and culturally the carnivals, its Holy Week and the patron saint festivals in August.

Decorated pilgrims are dolls made from used clothing that appear on milestones, signs, or crosses along the Camino de Santiago. They usually represent pilgrims, religious figures, or invented characters, with a free and colorful style. This spontaneous tradition has multiple interpretations: some see them as a way to record their passage along the Camino, others as amulets of protection or gratitude. Beyond their symbolism, they are a creative expression that brings humanity, humor, and an artistic touch to the landscape of the Camino.
