Description
Ruitelán is a small hamlet located along the Camino de Santiago, known for its historical and natural beauty. In the past, Ruitelán served as a resting place for weary pilgrims, providing shelter and support on their journey. The hamlet is nestled in a picturesque valley, surrounded by lush green mountains, which adds to its charm and allure. One of the most significant historical sites in Ruitelán is the San Froilán Hermitage, a small chapel dedicated to Saint Froilán, a 10th-century bishop of León. The hermitage is believed to have been built on the site where Saint Froilán retreated for prayer and meditation. This chapel has been a place of spiritual solace for pilgrims for centuries and continues to be a popular stop for those walking the Camino de Santiago.
