Stage of the Camino de Santiago. It goes from the vineyards of Bierzo to the green mountains of the mythical O Cebreiro pass

Corullón Castle is located in the El Bierzo region. It was built as a mansion and recreation by the Rodríguez de Valcarce family in the 14th century. The castle stands on a Roman fort and a medieval tower. Throughout its history, it belonged to various families, including the Álvarez Osorio and the Álvarez de Toledo. Currently, it is owned by the descendants of the Marquises of Villafranca. Although it cannot be visited, its history and architecture make it a historical and artistic monument of the region. 🏰🌟

If you are interested in visiting the castle, keep in mind that it opens its doors on specific dates. For example, during the May 1 long weekend, visiting hours are 11:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. The castle of Villafranca del Bierzo is a historical testimony and a place with impressive views. I hope you enjoy exploring it! 😊

Lovely historic little town nestled in the valley. Lots of things to see

Villa Franca del Bierzo is one of the most important places on the Way of St. James. Here you could get the Compostela if you were too sick or too exhausted. Many pilgrim graves were therefore found.

Imposing defensive the Castelo de Doiras is a beautiful heritage site overlooking the valley road.

Corullón is a small town on top of a hill near the Burbia River. The most outstanding monuments are the castle of Corullón from the 15th century and the Church of San Esteban.

If we arrive from Corullón, we will go through a picturesque road until we reach the Castle, where the undergrowth does not allow us to enjoy the building in its maximum splendor. The castle is best seen from the road.
