Carlos V Route

Carlos V, the Medieval emperor, was a keen globetrotter and chose Castilla y León for his final trip. Today, this historical and geographical route passes through 24 cities in the region.

The route passes through the regions of Cantabria, Castilla y León and Extremadura, reliving the time when Carlos I de España y V de Alemania disembarked in Laredo in Cantabria on September 26, 1556, to spend the rest of his days in the Monasterio de Yuste in Caceres where he died on the 21st September 1558.

The emperor’s pilgrimage through Castilla y León lasted a month and 3 days, starting on the 8th October and finishing on the 10th November 1556. The route offers tourists the chance to visit villages and areas of extraordinary natural beauty, the deep-rooted culture of the people, reflected by their traditions, legends, fiestas and lifestyle.
