Hiking
Las Médulas are the result of the greed of the Roman Empire to extract every last gram of gold that the Leonese mountains contained.
The Romans used the aggressive “ruina montium” method to extract gold for 250 years, creating a radical and surprising landscape.
As you tour Las Médulas, you will discover caves, pinnacles, ravines and vertical slopes of a remarkable reddish color.

We are at a crossroads where we will see an indicative panel. In addition, in the distance, we can see the ancient Roman gold mining of Las Médulas.
