    Tips

    The Cruz de Ferro marks the highest point of the Camino Frances de Santiago. At the top of the port of Foncebadón, at 1504 meters.
    Around the wooden post on which the cross is located, you will see a mountain of stones. Tradition makes pilgrims deposit here a stone brought from their place of origin.

      Famous iron cross on top of this mountain.
      Pilgrims should leave here one little stone theiy took at the start of their pilgrimage.
