Discover Tabuyo Del Monte

Tabuyo del Monte lies northeast of Teleno. To the north of the sierra, there are extensive pine forests near Tabuyo. They are complemented by guided mycological routes, paths to mills and caves, traces of Roman mining, and a religious tradition celebrated on a fixed date. This offers several themes to explore when planning a stay: forest landscapes, mushrooms, hiking and cultural heritage. The routes differ in their starting points, destinations and trail features.

Forest Landscapes and Mushrooms

The pine forests north of the sierra form a distinctive landscape around Tabuyo. Mushrooms are also a theme in various contexts. The Centro de Interpretación Micológico offers guided mycological routes, where participants receive guidance on good foraging practices.

The Casa de las Setas is also dedicated to mushrooms. It is located beside the pine forests of Tabuyo del Monte and is intended as a center for mushroom research and interpretation; it aims to promote mycological tourism. The options therefore include both a guided activity focused on foraging practices and a place intended as a research and interpretation center.

Trails to Mills, Caves and Peaks

The Ruta de los Molinos starts in Tabuyo del Monte beside the notice board on the road, before the turnoff to Priaranza de la Valduerna. It passes seven mills and ends at the Centro Micológico. Its starting point, route and destination distinguish this trail from the routes to caves or to the peak.

The Ruta a Cuevas de Moro offers a different kind of walk. It starts at Plaza Juego de los Bolos in Tabuyo del Monte, is rated easy and leads to the entrances of the two most clearly visible caves. The Cuevas de Moro preserve remains of Roman mining. The archaeological interest is therefore at the route’s destination, while its easy rating provides a specific point of reference for planning.

The Camino de Sanguiñal also starts in Tabuyo del Monte and passes over the summit of Pico Sanguiñal, at an altitude of 1,722 meters. The three trails each have a different focus: seven mills along the Ruta de los Molinos, cave entrances on the easy-rated Ruta a Cuevas de Moro, and a peak on the Camino de Sanguiñal. This distinction can help you choose a route based on your preferred destination.

Church and Regional Tradition

The Iglesia de Santiago is also the sanctuary of the Santísimo Cristo. The feast of Santo Cristo is celebrated on September 14 and is a recurring religious celebration. If you plan your stay around this occasion, the date provides a specific point of reference. Honey is one of the most deeply rooted products in the foothills of Teleno. This regional context complements the hiking and cultural heritage themes with a connection to the foothills’ product traditions.
