The Mirador de Orellán is a spectacular observation point located in the town of Orellán, in the municipality of Borrenes, León. This viewpoint offers stunning panoramic views of the cultural landscape of Las Médulas, an ancient Roman gold mining complex declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Near the viewpoint, you can visit the underground galleries that were part of the Roman gold mining system. Entry costs €3 and a helmet with headlamp is provided for the visit.

The summit of Galicia, with very good 360º views

Pico de Placias is another impressive place for hiking and nature lovers. A popular route starts from the parking lot next to the archaeological classroom. The route is circular, following the perimeter path to the Orellán viewpoint and then linking with the Valiñas path in the direction of La Cuevona and La Encantada. I hope you have an amazing experience exploring Placias Peak! 🏞️🚶‍♂️

The Orellán Gallery is an ancient underground water conduit that extends for about 100 meters. Its original function was to transport water from inside the mountain to burst it from within. The conduit ends at a viewpoint located in a vertical cut of the mountain, offering an impressive view. These galleries were part of the mining exploitation system known as Ruinae Montium. The Romans used these structures to extract minerals and natural resources. I hope you enjoy this historical and natural experience! 😊

A highlight along the way. The path doesn't actually lead over the bridge. But you should take it with you

The path avoids the curves of the meanders that form the main course of the Tera River, and many more of other streams, and without gaining hardly any positive slope it reaches the meadows of Majada Trevinca, at the foot of the imposing east face of the mountain, at the confluence of the torrents that flow down the slopes of Peña Maseirón, Peña Negra, Alto Ladeira da Medias and Peña Surbia, creating a fantastic mountain setting at the sources of the Tera. The path to the top does not let up, it goes straight up the side of the mountain to the summit, the geographical roof of Galicia and the province of Zamora.

Located at 1,022 meters above sea level, from Pico de Placias, we have another point of view of the landscape monument of Las Médulas. A great section to run.

From the Orellán viewpoint there are fabulous views of what was once a Roman gold mining operation. Now it has become a beautiful landscape environment, visited by sports and nature lovers who come to Las Médulas.
