El Valle: Hiking Trails, Churches and Historical Traces

El Valle is the starting point of the Senda La Mora, which leads towards Pico-Castro de Tudela. For your own planning, you can approach the village through specific trails and then distinguish between cultural and historical points of reference.

Trails and Landscape

El Valle has hiking trails through its landscape. The hiking route between Tedejo and El Valle is listed as being 1.16 km long. The Ruta del dios COSUE passes through seven villages of Bierzo Alto, including El Valle; its length is stated as approximately 12–14 km. When planning personally, the different routes can be considered side by side according to their course and scope. You can distinguish between a connection between two places and a route through several villages.

The two route descriptions offer different levels of comparison: the route between Tedejo and El Valle connects two named places, while the Ruta del dios COSUE runs through several settlements. In addition to its scope, the spatial structure of the route is therefore also one of the stated characteristics.

Culture

The church of Santa Eulalia lies between El Valle and Tedejo and serves both settlements as a parish church. Its portal with alfiz is designed in the style of the Catholic Monarchs and dates from the first half of the 16th century. The chapel of El Valle is dedicated to Santo Tomás. For a cultural day plan, you can distinguish between the religious sites according to their function, dedication and building history.

History

La Casa Grande de El Valle preserves a coat of arms on its façade. The Arias manor house in El Valle dates from the 16th century and is now a rural hotel known as La Casa Grande de El Valle. La Casa Grande del Valle is a rural hotel in El Valle with six rooms and 13 places. When reading about the history of the village, you can distinguish between a façade detail, a historic house and its present-day use.

The Corón de Tudela is 1,019 metres high, has extensive remains of fortifications and is regarded as a pre-Roman castro. El Castro lies east of El Valle and has remains of Roman gold-mining facilities. For travellers interested in culture, architectural history and archaeological traces therefore stand side by side as different focal points.
