Cacabelos is one of the villages with most charm and Jacobean tradition in El Bierzo. A fundamental stop on the Camino Francés, it is crossed by the Cúa River, which saves itself over a medieval bridge. The village is the heart of the Bierzo Denomination of Origin, and its Mencía wines are its greatest treasure. The Church of Santa María, with its Romanesque apse, and the Sanctuary of the Fifth Agony are its main monuments. Its main street bustles with pilgrim life. For the walker, Cacabelos is a perfect enogastronomic stop, with a complete range of services and an atmosphere that invites you to enjoy the best products from Bercian earth.
