La Ercina

La Ercina has an albergue (tel. +34 987 712 051 / +34 648 032 831) and an ethnographic museum with old mining implements and a tribute to the "Ercina 14" — miners who died in the local mines. The town sits where the two variant routes from Cistierna rejoin.

If you arrive early and have energy, several short walking circuits lead to old castros (hill forts) in the surrounding hills, with good views from the top.
