Information
The familiar yellow arrows of the Camino lead us through the ancient streets of the capital of Bierzo, up to the walls of the famous Castillo del Temple. We leave Ponferrada, after crossing the bridge over the river Sil. The current route avoids the industrial areas by turning off to the northwest towards the small towns of Columbrianos and Fuentes Navas, continuing towards Camponaraya.
Shortly after passing this last town, the reference point is the wineries of the Cooperative of El Bierzo, where you take a dirt track on the left that crosses the A-6 motorway again and after a hill the road runs through pleasant fields of vines to the capital of cherries: Cacabelos.
