Las Herrerías, y la aldea unida del Hospital, están en la base de la montaña que ha estado acechando en el horizonte durante unos días.

Al final de la ciudad, justo después de Casa Polin, hay una pequeña zona de picnic y la Fuente de Quiñones (llamada así por el famoso jinete del Hospital de Órbigo).

Notice

Un servicio local ofrece llevarlo a la cima de la montaña a caballo, una alternativa al ascenso de 6 km y una muestra de lo que el lujo se habría sentido hace 900 años.

The Road

La subida comienza como un ascenso gradual a lo largo del camino pavimentado. El camino eventualmente saldrá de este camino en favor de un sendero que desciende a su izquierda. Las flechas en el desvío indican que el camino para ciclistas permanece en la carretera y si está en bicicleta, esta es la ruta preferida. Cuando el sendero comienza a subir de nuevo, el camino es rocoso y empinado y resbaladizo con barro y mierda de caballo. Pisa con cuidado y piensa en pensamientos felices.

La vida es sueño y los sueños sueños son. Aprovecha y habla con Víctor de la vida y de los caballos, mientras correr en las nubes de Galicia.
Gracias Víctor, buen camino.

This place is comfortable enough. We had booked a private triple room. The toilets and bathroom are downstairs, which is quite inconvenient, especially at night when you have to walk through the dorm beds to use the loo!
No WiFi - you have to go to the Restuarant next door to use the WiFi.
We did not have dinner here.
They don't offer breakfast.

Horse ride to the top is 40€. Victor leaves at 9 and 4. I was debating whether to go or not so when, while we were riding, he told me work has been slow since the pandemic hit, I was happy to be helping local peoples businesses! The horses are well cared for and he stops to give them water during the climb.
Trip is about 2 hours.

If you want to take a horse to the top you need to know they only go up twice per day. One early morning and one in the "afternoon". You need to book well in advance as they fill up quickly. We waited too long and got to make the lovely uphill walk.

What a perfect place. Everything about this place is top notch. David and his Sister the owners are keeping this place to the highest standards.
The restaurant is serving great food with great attention. The rooms are super clean and comfortable. Very good stop before the climb to O Cebrerrio.
