    In a town of only 18 inhabitants we find five restaurants and seven accommodations. What the Camino de Santiago does!

    From here there are only a few more meters of ascent left to crown the port at the Cruz de Ferro.

      This elevation is usually shrouded in fog or buried in deep snow; both have their charm.

      HISTORY

      Foncebadón is perhaps best known as the home of the hermit Guacelmo. He cared for pilgrims as they made their way across the often treacherous mountain pass and was protected by King Alfonso VI. This pass was the preferred route into Galicia until the mid-18th century, and the townspeople of Foncebadon devoted themselves to marking the way and serving as guides.
