About this stop
A little about Manjarín
Manjarín is a small, isolated locality on the Camino de Frances, known for its unique character and historical significance. Situated in the Montes de León, it was once a thriving village during the Middle Ages, serving as a resting point for pilgrims traveling to Santiago de Compostela. However, over time, the population dwindled, and the village was eventually abandoned.
In the early 1990s, a man named Tomás Martínez Pérez, also known as "El Templario," decided to revive Manjarín as a refuge for pilgrims. He built a simple, rustic albergue, which he named "Refugio Templario," paying homage to the Knights Templar, who were known to protect and assist pilgrims during medieval times. Today, Manjarín is a unique and memorable stop for those walking the Camino, offering a glimpse into the past and a chance to experience the spirit of the ancient pilgrimage route.
