Las Herrerías e l’attiguo borgo di Hospital sono situati ai piedi della montagna che da un po’ di giorni ormai vedevate in agguato all’orizzonte.

Alla fine del paese, subito dopo Casa Polin, ci sono una piccola area picninc e la Fuente de Quiñones (chiamata così in onore del famoso cavaliere giostrante di Hospital de Óbrigo).

Attenzione

Un’impresa locale si offre di portarvi in cima alla montagna sulla groppa di un cavallo; un’alternativa ai 6km di salita e un assaggio di cosa fosse il lusso 900 anni fa.

Il cammino

La scalata inizia con una salita graduale lungo una strada asfaltata. In seguito, il cammino lascia questa strada per un sentiero in discesa sulla vostra sinistra. Alcune frecce alla svolta vi indicheranno che il cammino per i ciclisti resta sulla strada. Quando il sentiero inizia a salire nuovamente, il terreno si fa sassoso e scosceso, scivoloso per il fango e la cacca di cavallo. Procedete con attenzione e fate pensieri felici.

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.
