The Hermitage of San Froilán, located at the top of Peña de Valdorria (municipality of Valdepiélago, León), is one of the most emblematic and spiritual places in the León mountains. It stands at an altitude of 1,430 meters, perched among cliffs, and is accessed via a steep staircase with 365 steps carved into the rock, one for each day of the year.

365 steps separate the Hermitage of San Froilán and the town of Valdorria. From the hermitage we will have wonderful views of the Forest of the Fairies and the town of Leon.
