- Start. From the national highway 536 at the Las Ventas restaurant and alongside the village of San Juan de Paluezas (municipality of Borrenes) one takes the road leading to Castrelín de San Juan de Paluezas, located on a projection on the river Sil which dominates the river meadow and El Bierzo.
If you are going by car note that in rainy conditions the road to the village can be in quite poor state. It is recommended that you use a 4x4 or that you leave your car at the Estrella quarry, currently abandoned, and continue on foot (estimated time: 30 minutes).
- The El Castrelín de San Juan de Paluezas is a good place for discovering the way of life of the pre-Roman Astur communities who occupied the area from the 3rd century BC to the change of era. There is an information post in the village detailing the essential characteristics of this type of site, the layout of the dwellings inside the walled enclosure or their functional differences and their grouping into domestic units.
