Castrillo  de  los Polvazares   is   considered  one  of  the  most  beautiful  villages  in  all  of Spain.  We  are  situated  200km  east  of  Santiago  de  Compostella,  in  the  heart  of  the Maragateria  region, at the foot of the mountains of Leon.

The  village  is  a  heritage  site,  dating  back  to  the  16th  century.  It  is  in  complete  harmony  with  its  natural  surroundings  made  up  entirely  of  local  red  and  orange   coloured  stones.  They  contrast  to  the beautiful  old  arched  wooden  doors  painted  green,  blue  and  red.  The  village  sparkles  in  the  Spanish  sunlight  and  the  stones   seem  to  catch  fire  and  glow  at  dusk.

The  people  of  the  village, known as  "Maragatos",  are  proud  of  their  traditions  and  customs. You  can  see  their  beautiful  traditional  dresses  and  dances  every  year at  the  "La  Magdalena"  festivities.  The  patron  Saint  of the village -   Mary  Magdalene  is  celebrated   at  the  end  of  July.  

The  surrounding  landscape  is  breathtakingly  beautiful - open  and  vast  with  lots  of  wonderful  paths  to  explore.  Experience  an  explosion  of  wild  flowers in  the  Spring  and  a  landscape  of  golden  platinum  hues  in  the  summer.

The  retreat  centre, Flores del Camino,  is  a lovingly  renovated  old  stone  Maragato  house.  It  is  made  up  of  ensuite  rooms  nested  around  a  charming  courtyard  with  a  vine  and fruit  trees,  with   beautiful  spaces  for  meetings  and  creativity.  

You will find detailed explanations to get to and from Flores del Camino on our website.
