the reason for the detour being?For anyone coming into Leon the "new" pedestrian foot bridge crossing mentioned in Brierly's guide is closed. The current path takes almost you 2 kilometers out of the way and after a steep descent through vacant fields crosses the highway and rejoins the camino
but why the detour no one seems to be able tsay.Pedestrian bridge is closed (looked okay, but something must be wrong with it). You can actually dodge cars and cross the road about 1km prior, but that could be risky depending upon traffic.
In the grand scheme of things, what’s 2km more out of 800 or so? Sure, I complained too, but the sheer awesomeness of the Cathedral in Leon makes it all better!
There's nothing wrong with the footbridge, the closure and deviation of the Camino Frances trail just before Leon has to do with roadworks, see article and overview in https://www.noticiascyl.com/leon/so...o-provisional-del-camino-de-santiago-en-leon/but why the detour no one seems to be able tsay.
