Hiking

Lavacolla has a history closely linked to the Camino de Santiago. It is known for being one of the last stopping points for pilgrims before reaching the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Tradition indicates that in the stream of the Sionlla River, located in Lavacolla, pilgrims washed and changed their clothes as an act of purification before entering the city. It is believed that the name Lavacolla comes from this tradition of washing, although there are also theories that link it to "lava" (low pasture) and "colla" (hill).
