Trobajo del Camino

Trobajo del Camino is a place on the Camino de Santiago in the province of León in the Autonomous Community of Castile and León. Administratively, it is dependent on San Andrés del Rabanedo and, due to its proximity to León, is the place with the largest population in the municipality.

The name Trobajo is shared by three localities in the nearby area: Trobajo del Camino or "T. de arriba", Trobajo del Cerecedo or "T. de abajo", and Trobajuelo, a district of Vega de Infanzones. In medieval documents, the place name appears in the forms Trepalio, Trebalio, Troballo, and finally Trobajo. Justiniano Rodriguez explains the name in his study of the medieval Jewish quarter of León with a Jewish landowner from the 10th century named Jacob Trepalio and the transition of the name of the "Villa Trebalio" he inhabited to this place in the surrounding estate.
