Cacabelos er bedst kendt for sin vinproduktion, og du vil bemærke en moderne bygning i starten af byen, som blev bygget for at promovere regionen.

Tag dig tid til at vandre rundt i sidegaderne, og du vil blive belønnet med flere afsidesliggende restauranter. Det kommunale albergue her har et besynderligt design; det er hesteskoformet og ligger rundt om kirken og har halvprivate værelser til to personer.

History

Cacabelos skylder sin velstand til den daværende ærkebiskop af Santiago de Compostela Diego Gelmírez, som gav instrukser om, at den skulle genopbygges i 1108. Meget få af kirkerne er tilbage, men Iglesia de La Quinta Angustia nær floden huser en helt unik skulptur af Baby Jesus og Saint Anthony of Padua, der spiller kort.

Selv om de fleste af hans mænd i fuldskab plyndrede det nærliggende Villafranca, vandt Sir John Moores tilbagetrækningshær en lille sejr her under slaget ved Cacabelos. En af hans riffelskytter, den talentfulde Thomas Plunket, formåede at sætte en kugle i hovedet på den franske kavaleribrigadegeneral Auguste Colbert fra 500 meters afstand, og en anden i hovedet på den officer, der kom Colbert til hjælp. Balancen i halvø-krigen gik ikke helt til Moores fordel, og efter denne sejr genoptog han sit tilbagetog mod A Coruña.

The Road

Caminoen forlader byen langs vejen over Río Cúa og forbi kirken og alberguet.

Nice people working there! We had a very yummy dinner and enjoyed our private room.

If you get in early enough (they closed at 3), check out the Archeological Museum. It has one floor dedicated to the history and archeology of the area and two dedicated to special exhibits. It's pretty small and takes well under an hour, but it's really well done and only costs €1.50 for pilgrims.

This hostal is one of our favorite places on the Camino! The room is gorgeous; we loved the exposed rock wall and skylight with views to the adjacent church bells and stork nest. The owner runs the bar and restaurant downstairs and was so helpful checking us in (even allowing us to check-in earlier than the standard check-in time). We would come back again in a heartbeat.

Balthazar was amazed that he is mentioned in this app. The pilgrim’s menu was fantastic. And his is definitely the soul of this place!
Cheers

Camino de Sant…

The food here is really good and great value at 12 EU pilgrim meal. Balthazar is life and soul of the place with great energy and commitment to giving pilgrims what they want.

Camino de Sant…

I stayed a night in spacious private room far away from any noise, when there were no albergues available ahead. The business is run by Abel, a man with both Spanish and British roots. He went above and beyond to help me as a guest and his food is simply out of this world. Whether staying or passing through drop by to refuel. Ask for the ravolli pasta. An excellent establishment.
