Forskellige guidebøger (og et par romaner) har givet Foncebadón et ry for at være hjemsted for rabiate hunde, der er ivrige efter en velsmagende pilgrimssnack. Selvom det måske engang var sandt, er det det ikke længere.

Denne højde er typisk indhyllet i tåge eller begravet i dyb sne; begge dele har deres charme.

History

Foncebadón er måske bedst kendt som eremitten Guacelmos hjem. Han tog sig af pilgrimme, når de navigerede over det ofte forræderiske bjergpas, og blev beskyttet af Kong Alfonso VI. Dette pas var indtil midten af det 18. århundrede den foretrukne rute ind i Galicien, og indbyggerne i Foncebadon dedikerede sig til at markere vejen og fungere som guider.

The Road

Cruz de Fierro, eller Jernkorset, er en jævn stigning forude. Hvis du stoppede ved baren i vejkanten, skal du sørge for at komme tilbage til caminoen og undgå at følge cyklisterne, når de tager vejen.

Could have been a place for refuge. Nothing open.

As I walked into town, I was accosted by a man masturbating. He grabbed at my bag and followed me into town--just as the Camino narrowed and I entered Astorga. Phoned 091. Another more fluent Spanish speaking Pilgrim assisted me in calling the police. Police escorted me to town. Made a complaint. Apparently this has happened in this location before. Be careful. This was 11 a.m. I was a lone female walking Pilgrim. Buen Camino.

This place is completely charming. It has a Celtic / medieval flair and is warm and inviting. The staff is friendly and wants to please and they even dress the part. If you order the pilgrim’s hamburger, make sure you’re hungry because it’s the size of a cantaloupe! But it hits the spot after a long day. It’s on the right immediately as you come into town.

Entered Foncebadon as the sun was rising over the eastern hills with rays of sunlight piercing through the misty fog, which presented this little hamlet in a most charming manner. Altogether fitting it is then that I should enter the equally charming tienda, restaurant and hotel El Trasgu. Had a great breakfast with great views of the hillside. The eclectic interior decor is alone worth a visit. The proprietors are great as well. A wonderful respite after the early morning climb from Rabanal del Camino

This place has changed since last here and not for the better. The bars seem to think everyone wants to listen to loud music. The El Trasgu bar is probably the best for food with a very good shop there.

Camino de Sant…

What a lovely surprise. The walk to the village was a welcome uphill. Once there we found all the shops open - ie. no siesta closing- well stocked and the restaurants had a more varied menu. The La Posada del Druida was clean and comfortable and we were welcomed. Our washing was taken away and returned dried. All in all, somewhere recommended

This restaurant was a highlight of my Camino. Great food, atmosphere, music, and experience. Please look it up online so you can see what this place looks like and how this family dress in classic Leon period clothing. Portions are big and great tasting. I can’t say enough about it,,, look it up for yourself!!!!

There was not much else in Foncebadón than great views and great food. We had one of our best meals of the whole Camino at the pizzeria. Strongly recommended! It was run by a young Italian man who really seemed to enjoy what he was doing in foncebadon- meeting new people and serving them excellent pizzas. The lunch at El Trasgu was also delicious!

There is a wonderful new pizzeria on the right as you go up the town, a little before the Domis Dei albergue. It is the dream of a young Italian guy, who walked the Camino a few years ago and fell in love with Foncebadon. Amazing range of delicious pizzas, tiramisu etc., and such a good attitude, friendliness etc. We had lunch there, and he gave us tickets for money off dinner, if we wanted to come back. We came back for tiramisu, and the place was full of energy - people laughing, eating, drinking, enjoying themselves. Highly recommend this place!
