Viele Reiseführer (und ein paar Romane) haben Foncebadón den Ruf gegeben, die Heimat von tollwütigen Hunden zu sein, die auf einen leckeren Pilgersnack aus sind. Das mag zwar einmal wahr gewesen sein, ist es aber nicht mehr.

In der Tat hat der Außenposten in den Bergen eine Art Renaissance erlebt. Zwischen völlig verfallenen Steinhaufen gibt es eine Reihe liebevoll restaurierter alter Häuser, von denen die meisten zu Unterkünften für Pilger umgebaut wurden.

Diese Höhenlage ist typischerweise in Nebel gehüllt oder unter tiefem Schnee begraben; beides hat seinen Reiz.

History

Foncebadón ist vielleicht am besten als Heimat des Einsiedlers Guacelmo bekannt. Er kümmerte sich um die Pilger auf ihrem Weg über den oft tückischen Gebirgspass und stand unter dem Schutz von König Alfonso VI. Dieser Pass war bis Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts die bevorzugte Route nach Galizien und die Einwohner von Foncebadon widmeten sich der Markierung des Weges und dienten als Führer.

The Road

Der Cruz de Fierro, auch Eisernes Kreuz genannt, ist ein stetiger Anstieg. Wenn du an der Bar am Straßenrand angehalten hast, solltest du wieder auf den Camino zurückkehren und es vermeiden, den Radfahrern zu folgen, wenn sie die Straße nehmen.

Pequena pensão, quartos excelentes com casa de banho/duche privada. Terraço encantador. Jantar incrivelmente saboroso e excelente pequeno-almoço. Paragem perfeita após caminhada difícil de Rabanal.

O primeiro café quando se chega tem um menu variado e delicioso. É acolhedor com muito espaço para se sentar. Um dos melhores pequenos-almoços no Camino. Crepes, tortilhas, torrada de abacate, omelets, smoothies, etc.

Também quero confirmar uma primeira impressão de La Taberna De Gaia. Não está na lista de albergues, mas entrei para uma cerveja e também senti que fui transportado para a Idade Média. Consultem as excelentes avaliações do Google.

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.

Best bed in an Albergue so far, great pilgrim dinner. Highly recommended

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
