Rabanales is a small town located in the Aliste region with the typical traditional local architecture of masonry buildings.

Walking through the dense pine forests, we come across the stone outcrop where the Castro de Valdemera sits. Before beginning the access to the rocky ridges we find a spring in the same rock, surrounded by stones, which rather forms a deep pool. From the top we can see the walled complex of the castro, surrounded by the remains of the wall. Climbing to the top of the stones, we can contemplate the entire Sierra de la Culebra and give you an idea of how big the castro was.

Following the path between chestnut and pine trees we arrive at the Castillán fort. The views from the top are really beautiful and allow you to contemplate the entire Sierra de la Culebra and get an idea of how big the castro was. Awesome!

Beautiful views as we walk along the picturesque path along the banks of the Mena River, near the town of Rabanales. A little more than 500 meters away we will find the Los Enfermos fountain, where some stone benches and tables await us in case we want to take a break.
