Services
Furelos has a Roman bridge, a church, and a bar — a satisfying combination. The bridge is small but genuinely ancient, its stones worn smooth by two millennia of traffic. The bar serves excellent tortillas.
The Iglesia de San Juan has an unusual crucifix depicting Jesus with one arm reaching upward rather than stretched to the side — a rare variation worth seeing.
History
The village and its pilgrim hospice were owned by the Hospitallers of San Juan in the 12th century. The bridge is Roman in origin, rebuilt in the medieval period.
