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.

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

Camino de Sant…

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!!!!

Camino de Sant…

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!

Stopped in for pizza it was very good I thought it to be pricey ($22.00) for a pizza that two of us had no problem eating. But it was good.
