Crossing point of the Camino de Santiago Primitivo and a place with magnificent views. It is 1146 meters high. From here you can go to Montefurado, Lake, Roman Gold Mines, Xuan Rata Cave, Sierra del Valledor and Berduceo.

Tremendous ascent of the Camino Primitivo, it is done entirely by road (there is an alternative for walkers, but frankly little or not at all cyclable). It is long, although the slopes are not great and there is little traffic, so it is pleasant, especially for the views.
