The Senda de Bas is a hiking route in Ponferrada, León, ideal for enjoying nature and the outdoors. This circular trail combines paths and trails through a beautiful natural landscape, including the Sil River, chestnut trees, oaks and a wide variety of local fauna.

Sant ESTEVE or ESTEBAN, Saint Stephen, patron saint of this church, is one of the first seven deacons of the original Jerusalem community and, as the New Testament reports, is the first martyr (martyr) of early Christianity. The church commemorates his death on the second day of Christmas, December 26th. When Stephen expressed his vision of the open heavens, "But he, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked up into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God" (Acts chapter 7 verse 55), the people were so outraged that they drove him out of the city and stoned him.

The Church of San Esteban de Columbrianos, near Ponferrada, is a place of great historical and architectural importance. Its Romanesque style, decorative elements and state of conservation make it a point of interest for lovers of art and history1. It dates back to 1778, and its belfry tower was rebuilt in 1948 after it was struck by lightning and part of it collapsed. I hope you find this architectural gem interesting! 😊

The Bárcena reservoir is a water dam located in the course of the Sil River, between Santa Marina del Sil and Ponferrada, in the Spanish region of El Bierzo. For its construction and commissioning in 1961, the towns of Bárcena del Río and Posada del Río were evacuated, whose inhabitants were relocated to a newly built town called Bárcena del Bierzo. The works began in 1955 and involved the modification of the railway route of the Minero Siderúrgica de Ponferrada company (MSP Railway) or Ponferrada-Villablino Railway. If you visit the area, do not hesitate to explore this impressive reservoir. 🌊⚡🏞️

Lovely little chapel with pilgrim mural at the fork where the camino turns left

Small inconspicuous church on the side of the road.
