La Faba is a small mountain village at about 1,100 m, roughly halfway up the climb from Las Herrerías to O Cebreiro. A basic albergue and a bar provide welcome refreshment. The village has a handful of stone houses and a tiny church.
The climb continues above the village, steepening as you approach the provincial boundary with Galicia. The chestnut forests give way to heath and scrub.
History
A pilgrim hospital operated here in the Middle Ages, serving those who needed rest before the final push to the pass. The village has been continuously inhabited despite its remote position.
