Close to Ponferrada, in the province of León, is the village of Molinaseca. You can find all the possible tourist attractions that you could ask for here: tradition, culture, history, nature… and of course… The Way of Saint James.
Molinaseca is highly attractive to pilgrims, who enter the village by crossing the River Meruelo with its crystal waters, over the pilgrims’ bridge or De los siete arcos (of the seven arches).

A while back I wrote about this village in the north of Gran Canary Island… well actually, I wrote about its church San Juan Bautista de Arucas.
This is the second time I have visited this village and it doesn’t cease to amaze me. Not only for its urban area, which by-the-way, has been declared of historical interest, but also because of its people, its lovely spots and of course, the views from the Mountain of Arucas.
I recommend you visit it taking your time to see all the village of Arucas, but if you don’t have much time, then prioritise. What I did was: visit San Juan Bautista, the Municipal Park of Arucas and then I walked up the Mountain of Arucas.

Villardeciervos belongs to the municipality of Carballeda in Zamora, found in the base of the Sierra de la Culebra mountain range (National Game Reserve).
Villardeciervos is of great historic value and in fact, in 1987 it was declared a Collection of Historic-Artistic buildings. Its well-preserved buildings, numerous fountains, narrow lanes and the Roman way, A Bracara Asturicam, that joins Braga and Astorga (later named XVII Way of Antonio Pío’s route), makes us easily envisage how people would have lived there in the past.
No doubt you’re thinking: How can narrow lanes help us imagine how people lived there in the past? Well, quite a lot, actually, because these lanes were built as camouflage in the days when goods were smuggled over from near-by Portugal.

In the heart of Camero Viejo, found in the wine region of Rioja, there are several charming villages to visit: Soto en Cameros, San Román de Cameros and Velilla.
These three villages are in the middle of the countryside, on the banks of the River Leza, and are in keeping with their environment.
It is the perfect place to do rural tourism, where you will have the possibility of walking in the countryside, do some hillwalking, learn about the history, culture or gastronomy of the place and much more.
