Seven mills along one route, two of the most clearly visible cave entrances, and guided mushroom routes give Tabuyo Del Monte a range of natural and cultural highlights. The town lies northeast of Teleno; to the north of the Sierra, there are extensive pine forests near Tabuyo Del Monte. If you are looking for a holiday apartment for a stay in Tabuyo Del Monte, it helps to decide which excursions interest you most: mushrooms, Roman mining, or a trail over a summit.
Mushrooms, Forests and Foraging Practices
The Centro de Interpretación Micológico offers guided mycological routes. Participants receive guidance on good foraging practices. So the focus is not only on being out and about, but also on collecting mushrooms responsibly. If you would like to make mushrooms a specific activity rather than just a landscape theme, this guidance is a clear highlight.
The Casa de las Setas is located next to the pine forests of Tabuyo Del Monte. It is intended as a centre for mushroom research and interpretation, and to promote mycological tourism. While the guided routes focus on foraging practices, the Casa is intended to focus on research and interpretation.
Trails to Mills, Caves and a Summit
The Ruta de los Molinos starts next to the noticeboard on the road before the turn-off to Priaranza de la Valduerna. It passes seven mills and ends at the Centro Micológico. This gives the route a clearly described starting point, a series of mills along the way, and a named destination.
The Ruta a Cuevas de Moro starts at Plaza Juego de los Bolos in Tabuyo Del Monte and is rated easy. It leads to the entrances of the two most clearly visible caves. The Cuevas de Moro preserve remains of Roman mining. This route therefore combines a specific difficulty rating with an archaeological destination.
The Camino de Sanguiñal also starts in Tabuyo Del Monte and crosses the summit of Pico Sanguiñal at 1,722 metres. The elevation provides a topographical reference point for the hike. When choosing between the trails, you can weigh up different interests: mills along a route, caves bearing traces of Roman mining, or a trail over a summit.
Cultural Heritage and Regional Produce
The Iglesia de Santiago also serves as the sanctuary of the Santísimo Cristo.
The Feast of Santo Cristo is celebrated annually in Tabuyo Del Monte on 14 September. If you would like to plan your travel around this religious occasion, the date is a specific point of reference.
In the foothills of Teleno, honey is one of the region's most deeply rooted products. It adds a connection to regional production to the area's natural and cultural highlights.
