This is one of the oldest Caminos, with more than 500 years of history, which was used by the "Followers of the Cross" to reach the cross known as the "Lignum Crucis" protected by Santo Toribio de Liebana, which was said to have miraculous and curative properties, as it was the largest piece of the cross on which Jesus was crucified.
