El bar y el albergue están en la ciudad de Pradela, que se encuentra justo al lado del camino antes de descender hacia Trabadelo. No necesitas ir a la ciudad a menos que estés buscando una copa o una cama. De lo contrario, siga las flechas para mantenerse a lo largo del camino. Los bosques aquí están llenos de castaños. Si ves montones de esferas espinosas a tus pies, mira desde arriba.

The Road

Pradela se encuentra en la ladera justo por encima de Trabadelo. El descenso a lo largo del sendero es rápido y lo llevará a una calle lateral a mitad de camino de la ciudad; también es posible seguir el camino para un viaje más largo pero menos empinado.

Mientras que el encantador albergue y café estaban cerrados, pudimos parar en el Café Bar para tomar un café (no vi comida), hacer un descanso en el baño y tener algo de tiempo para sentarnos antes de bajar.

Este año volvimos a hacer la Ruta Pradela, con ganas de disfrutar de buena compañía y tarta de castañas en el Albergue/Cafe Lamas, pero lo encontramos cerrado. Nos decepcionó mucho. Continuamos hacia Trabadelo para descansar, recordando que la mayoría de los restaurantes están antes de que la Ruta Pradela se fusione con la ruta principal. Estén listos para retroceder aproximadamente 500 metros por la ruta principal (giren a la izquierda, no a la derecha) para encontrar cafés.

Hermoso paseo, solo tenga en cuenta que Lamas está cerrado y tendrá que continuar hasta Trabadelo para hacer una pausa para comer.

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.
