Forskellige guidebøger (og et par romaner) har givet Foncebadón et ry for at være hjemsted for rabiate hunde, der er ivrige efter en velsmagende pilgrimssnack. Selvom det måske engang var sandt, er det det ikke længere.

Denne højde er typisk indhyllet i tåge eller begravet i dyb sne; begge dele har deres charme.

History

Foncebadón er måske bedst kendt som eremitten Guacelmos hjem. Han tog sig af pilgrimme, når de navigerede over det ofte forræderiske bjergpas, og blev beskyttet af Kong Alfonso VI. Dette pas var indtil midten af det 18. århundrede den foretrukne rute ind i Galicien, og indbyggerne i Foncebadon dedikerede sig til at markere vejen og fungere som guider.

The Road

Cruz de Fierro, eller Jernkorset, er en jævn stigning forude. Hvis du stoppede ved baren i vejkanten, skal du sørge for at komme tilbage til caminoen og undgå at følge cyklisterne, når de tager vejen.

The first cafe when you arrive has a varied menu that’s delicious. It’s cozy with ample seating. One of the best breakfasts on the Camino. Crepes, tortillas, avocado toast, omelets, smoothies, etc.

I want to also second a first impression of La Taberna De Gaia. Not on the list of Albergues, but stepped in for a beer and also felt thrown into medieval times. Check out the excellent Google reviews.

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

Camino de Sant…

This place has changed since last here and not for the better. The bars seem to think everyone wants to listen to loud music. The El Trasgu bar is probably the best for food with a very good shop there.

Camino de Sant…

What a lovely surprise. The walk to the village was a welcome uphill. Once there we found all the shops open - ie. no siesta closing- well stocked and the restaurants had a more varied menu. The La Posada del Druida was clean and comfortable and we were welcomed. Our washing was taken away and returned dried. All in all, somewhere recommended
