Description
Cacabelos is a picturesque town in the region of El Bierzo, known for its historical and cultural significance along the Camino de Santiago. The town's history dates back to Roman times when it was a significant settlement due to its strategic location near the River Cúa. The Roman bridge, Puente de Cacabelos, is a testament to the town's ancient past and has been restored several times throughout the centuries. During the Middle Ages, Cacabelos gained importance as a resting point for pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago. The town's Church of Santa María, built in the 12th century, is a notable example of Romanesque architecture and has been a place of worship and solace for countless pilgrims over the years. Additionally, the Monastery of San Andrés, founded in the 10th century, played a significant role in the town's development and provided assistance to pilgrims. Today, Cacabelos remains a popular stop for those walking the Camino de Santiago, offering a rich historical experience and a welcoming atmosphere.
