Bercianos del Real Camino

Bercianos del Real Camino is a municipality in the province of León, Castilla y León, situated on the main Camino Frances route between Sahagún and El Burgo Ranero. The village is on the main Frances corridor rather than the Via Trajana alternative, occupying the flat Cea river valley terrain characteristic of this section of the Leonese plain.

The village has a compact stone character with the church of El Salvador and traditional Leonese farmhouses. The surrounding landscape is the open cereal plain with the characteristic flat horizon of the Meseta at its widest.

For pilgrims, Bercianos provides basic services on the route south of Sahagún, the village character typical of the small farming communities that punctuate the final Leonese plain stages before Mansilla and León.
