Path

In the small village of Ramil at the foot of the Camino, just before Triacastela, stands one of Galicia's most beautiful century-old chestnut trees. Its trunk spans 8.5 meters and, with its hollow spaces and thick branches that seem to embrace the tree, resembles an X-ray of time.

Famous pass, feared by medieval pilgrims, practically connects the Bierzo with Galicia. The climb from Villafranca del Bierzo is no joke, but doable. Just take it easy.

Perfect road for a bike ride, you have to be careful in summer because of the vehicle traffic

Large deciduous tree that is common in the mountains of Galicia. The fruits are covered with a green rind with thorns, the "erize". The season for harvesting chestnuts is November, and in Triacastela and throughout Galicia in general it is celebrated with a festival called "magesto". The main use of the chestnut tree is to obtain its wood and use its fruit as food for the population in general and as food for livestock.

After a long and hard climb you finally reach the pass and can be proud of yourself.

Here you have finally reached the long-awaited pass.

This impressive tree is over 800 years old. A true natural monument.
