Ruins of Paradiella Hospital

Highlight • Historical Site

If you are doing the Camino Primitivo, this is the first of the three hospitals that you will see on this alternative itinerary. Although very little remains of this ancient building, part of the structure can still be seen.

Highest Point of the Camino Primitivo

Highlight • Summit

Highest point of the route of the hospitals and of the entire Camino Primitivo. If you have brought something from home you can leave it here, as the pilgrims of the French Way do at the Cruz de Ferro.

Ruins of the Fonfaraón Hospital

Highlight • Historical Site

This is probably the best preserved hospital on the alternative route of the Camino Primitivo. It is located at an altitude of 1,190 meters, at the foot of the 1,292-meter Cimero peak. There is evidence that a town existed in the surroundings of this hospital thousands of years ago, in prehistoric times.

Ruins of the Hospital of Valparaíso

Highlight • Historical Site

Although only a mound of stones remains, this hospital served pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago until the 19th century. The setting is spectacular.

La Marta Lagoon

Highlight • Lake

It is an old water deposit that was used to extract gold. Cows and horses are often seen grazing on the banks, which gives this space an additional charm. From here there is a spectacular 360º view.
