Pilgrimage of San Froilan
Thousands of people flock to the Shrine of the Virgen del Camino to take part in this procession in honour of the patron saints of León - Saint Froilan and the Virgin of El Camino. Seemingly endless queues form to kiss the Virgin’s cloak, touch the Saint’s nose and stroll around the streets packed with stalls. One of the traditions of this festivity is to taste the traditional morcilla of León, a kind of black pudding, and buy bags of hazelnuts, known locally as perdones.
