Hiking
Along the Camino de Santiago several 'hospitals' were built in the Middle Ages, which were essentially places of rest and food, although they also provided security and care for pilgrims. This was founded in 1185 in this part of the Camino Frances.

The building was built in 1185 and served as a hostel for pilgrims. Archaeological excavations began in 1990 and uncovered the walls of the former hospital and a large church with a Latin cross floor plan and a cylindrical tower with a spiral staircase. One of the most important finds are four graves.
