    Hiking

    In this house lived the one who was known in the area as the "Renegade", a hermit who thought it was better to be alone than in bad company.
    One story tells that one winter was very harsh, in which it snowed so much, he had to even eat his donkey to survive.
    Located just below the Abantos peak, with privileged views, only the ruins remain of this house.
