Hi Sil,the road entrance to the city of Valladolid
Rebekah Scott said:The camino carries most pilgrims along a side street that avoids the ugly commercial area along the main highway (and there is a fence covered in woven-in crosses), but pilgrims are dropped without warning on the far side of a very heavily traveled roundabout with very little signposting and absolutely no safe way to cross four lanes of traffic.

Hi!Rebekah Scott said:These places might be scary, but they surely give pilgrims some memories to share! How dull it would be if it was all safe and sanitized, eh?
Has anyone crossed the LE-20, LE-30 at this point (2nd arrow)?falcon269 said:You can bypass the busy highway into Leon by walking farm roads after Valdefuente to connect to Calle de Santo Thomas roughly shown by the two arrows on this map.
Rebekah Scott said:good news, almost exactly a year after the big discussion broke out here:
Steel decking for a new pedestrian bridge is now stacked up along the N630 on either side of the terrible pedestrian crossing above Leon. Evidently someone in government either walked the camino or almost ran down a pilgrim, and something shall be done to make that crossing safe.
Reb.
He attached a PDF file to his post showing the route."You can bypass the busy highway into Leon by walking farm roads after Valdefuente to connect to Calle de Santo Thomas"
