Baren og alberguet ligger begge i byen Pradela, som ligger lige ved siden af caminoen, før den går ned mod Trabadelo. Du behøver ikke at gå ind til byen, medmindre du er ude efter en drink eller en seng. Ellers følg pilene for at holde dig langs caminoen. Skovene her er tykke med kastanjetræer. Hvis du ser bunker af stikkende kugler ved dine fødder, så kig ud fra oven.

The Road

Pradela ligger på bjergskråningen lige over Trabadelo. Nedstigningen ad stien er hurtig og fører dig ind i en sidegade halvvejs inde i byen; det er også muligt at følge vejen for en længere, men mindre stejl tur.

This alternative Route is a commitment, no question. Serious uphill for several km. But soooo worth it. A perfect crisp fall day and all the families were out picking their chestnut crop. The cafe at Albuergue lama was beyond charming. Delicious nourishing food and warm caring host. Say yes to the liquor!!!

Yes it’s hard work getting up that mountain but it was all worth the effort. The hosts at the albergue are beautiful souls and the coffee and chestnut cake was worth every step. Do yourself a favor and do the alternative route.😊

The sweetest hosts, freshest food straight from the garden, beautiful chestnut liquor, stunning views, all worth it with the 8km walk uphill or flat. Just a heads up there are no benches or water fountains on the way from Villafranca, but this way was SO worth it. Could not recommend it higher.

Worth the effort! Anna and Miguel open their doors to us with so much heart. If you can come for lunch, do it. The veggies are all fresh and right from the garden. If you can stay for the night, do it. Fresh air, tinkling bells, great food, cute cats, lovely family, gorgeous view, clean facilities, all around five stars ⭐️! I love-love-loved my time here!

Take the detour and stay here. Trust me. The views are amazing and so worth the climb up and the albergue is run by the sweetest couple. Anna helped me and the other guest make bracelets and served a delicious dinner. It felt like home, not like a business. Loved this experience.

When exiting Villafranca some local people tend to send you to the main camino road along the road saying the detour up the hill is dangerous. Don’t be fooled, the walking path is in very good condition and the views are just stunning. The climb is so worth it!
Miguel and Ana from the albergue in Pradela will welcome you with the best chestnut cake plus chocolate sauce.

I stopped for lunch and was quite tempted to just stop and stay…

They are super friendly and the home made food was delicious. Chestnut cake, toast with goats cheese and then a delicious chestnut liqueur

We left before sunrise to Pradela, it was a tough climb and it would be more difficult in the heat of the day. Lovely views from the top, and chestnut trees. Stop by the albergue in the town. The hostess is super friendly and makes everything from fruit and veggies from her garden. We had a fruit smoothie, chestnut cake and bread with goats cheese and pepper marmalade- delicious!!
