Las Herrerias og den sammenvoksede landsby Hospital ligger ved foden af det bjerg, der har luret i horisonten i et par dage.

For enden af byen, lige efter Casa Polin, ligger et lille picnicområde og Fuente de Quiñones (opkaldt efter den berømte ridder fra Hospital de Órbigo).

Notice

En lokal service tilbyder at tage dig til toppen af bjerget på hesteryg, et alternativ til den 6 km lange opstigning og en smagsprøve på, hvordan luksus ville have føltes for 900 år siden.

The Road

Stigningen begynder som en gradvis opstigning langs den asfalterede vej. Caminoen forlader til sidst denne vej til fordel for en gangsti, der går nedad til venstre for dig. Pile ved afkørslen indikerer, at caminoen for cyklister forbliver på vejen, og hvis du er på cykel, er dette den foretrukne rute. Når stien begynder at stige igen, er den stenet og stejl og glat af mudder og hestepærer. Træd varsomt og tænk glade tanker.

La vida es sueño y los sueños sueños son. Aprovecha y habla con Víctor de la vida y de los caballos, mientras correr en las nubes de Galicia.
Gracias Víctor, buen camino.

This place is comfortable enough. We had booked a private triple room. The toilets and bathroom are downstairs, which is quite inconvenient, especially at night when you have to walk through the dorm beds to use the loo!
No WiFi - you have to go to the Restuarant next door to use the WiFi.
We did not have dinner here.
They don't offer breakfast.

Horse ride to the top is 40€. Victor leaves at 9 and 4. I was debating whether to go or not so when, while we were riding, he told me work has been slow since the pandemic hit, I was happy to be helping local peoples businesses! The horses are well cared for and he stops to give them water during the climb.
Trip is about 2 hours.

If you want to take a horse to the top you need to know they only go up twice per day. One early morning and one in the "afternoon". You need to book well in advance as they fill up quickly. We waited too long and got to make the lovely uphill walk.

What a perfect place. Everything about this place is top notch. David and his Sister the owners are keeping this place to the highest standards.
The restaurant is serving great food with great attention. The rooms are super clean and comfortable. Very good stop before the climb to O Cebrerrio.
