Small town revitalized with restaurants and rural houses thanks to the passage of the Camino de Santiago. At the exit of the town, a modern monument commemorates the death of the German pilgrim cyclist Heinrich Krause, who died here on August 13, 1987. Legend has it that the sword that King Pelayo used in the battle of Covadonga, was forged in the Holly town.

The Camino de France is well characterized over its entire length in Spain for the pilgrims who want to Santiago de Compostela. Along the way are the KM-stones and everywhere the famous shell can be seen, as well as yellow file. Also for the physical well-being is taken care of on the Camino! For 10 € already, there is the so-called pilgrims menu which consists of a starter, a main course and a dessert. A drink is also included. Also for sufficient accommodation possibilities is provided! Here the prices vary from a donation up to 15 € for simple hostels! These usually have dorms with multiple double beds! But also twin rooms can be found here and there! I personally recommend to get a pilgrim guide before the trip in which the accommodations are noted!

Passing population on the aggressive descent from Manjarín to Ponferrada, take the descent calmly and in cool or rainy weather wear long gloves.
