The best walks and hikes around Carrizo

Watch out for the climb they call "of the 100 beers" oof, to die for. The rest is fine.

Mesetas, long road parallel to the boring state road 🙈

The Church of Santa Engracia in Valverde de la Virgen is a significant place of worship in the region of León. Built in 1987, this church preserves the tower of the old church on its exterior, which stands out for its curious two-body bell gable and numerous stork nests. The church is an important reference point for locals and pilgrims who travel the Camino de Santiago.

There is a pilgrim stop here, I think almost every pilgrim takes a short break here, and most climb the steel stairs to the bell.

The Passo Honroso Bridge in Hospital de Órbigo is an impressive medieval construction from the 13th century.

The Iglesia de San Juan Bautista is located in Hospital de Órbigo, a medieval village in the province of León. The village is known to pilgrims who follow the French route of the Camino de Santiago. The church itself is a reminder of the presence of the Knights Hospitaller. It has a cross-shaped plan and has been rebuilt. The entrance facade has a cross of the Order. The church is very centrally located in the village, next to the town hall. It is perfectly preserved and the statue of San Juan Bautista that can be seen at the entrance through the triple portal is particularly striking. The construction of the church dates back to the mid-18th century. It belonged to the Military Order of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem and its Prior was that of San Román El Antiguo of the same Order4. The altarpiece belongs to the Plateresque style4.
