Bar Central is the bar most likely to be open, so don't pass it hoping for another. There is also a small shop in town for basic food supplies. Another option for food is either in León or at the cafeteria El Palacete located on your left less than 1km outside of León. The...
The camino follows along the main road right up to the end where it turns to dirt. It is well marked. On the way to the next village, the camino passes the Fuente de Villabura, a fountain and rest area for pilgrims.
No services in town but 4 beds are available in the municipal albergue. If you plan to stay here you are advised to call the hospitalero (Antonio) in advance: 987 580 156.
Avoid accidentally following the road out of Cabanillas. The camino turns to the right at the edge of town and follows along a hiking trail through an oak forest and to La Seca.

In Cascantes the camino crosses the main road and follows a paved side road into and through the town. At the end, it rejoins the main road to La Robla. At the entrance to town is the Chapel of Celada, and beyond that a large power plant. You will pass through a tunnel and then over the...
La Robla is the first developed city outside of León. In addition to an albergue, there are also hostals and pensions. Avoid those at the entrance to town just over the foot bridge, and continue into the center. There is also a tourist information office near the ayuntamiento if you need a stamp...
The camino from La Robla, at least once you get to the end of town, is along a pleasant path adjacent to the River. It passes a restored aqueduct.

Crossing the bridge to visit La Seca, with a bar and the Ermita de San Blas, is optional.
Keep on straight (with the bridge on your left) to follow the camino.
León is now a fully modernized city home to more than half of the population in the province. Like Burgos behind and Santiago ahead, it is worthy of more time than the average pilgrim spends here. To explore in full would take several days, to cover the basics at least two. If you are keen to...
Leave León by way of the road behind the Parador San Marcos. While facing the Parador cross the square to your right and follow the path around the building. Arrows dedicated to the San Salvador route will appear, as well as a fairly unique mojon.
