Las Médulas
When packing your luggage to discover the charms of the Cultural and Natural Space of Las Medulas, don’t forget to include a few essential items that will make your stay easier.
On the roads
It is essential to wear comfortable shoes, carry a water bottle (preferably reusable) on the routes and apply sun cream to protect against the omnipresent ultraviolet radiation.
If you tend to be out before the sun comes up and get home after it has gone down for the night, a headlamp to light up the trails will be a great help. If you forget it, remember to carry a mobile phone with enough battery power to use instead.
Wearing a light jacket is always advisable in Las Médulas, especially when entering a gallery in the gold mine.
The extraordinary landscape of Las Médulas and its changes with the seasons make it an attractive place to visit at any time of the year. If you do it in autumn or spring, to enjoy the changing colours of the leaves or the tender green of spring, bring clothing that will keep you warm and protect you from the rain during an occasional shower.
Minimise your footprint
On the routes through the Cultural and Natural Space of Las Medulas, it is best not to leave any trace of our passage. Don’t dump food waste, even if it is organic, and take your rubbish to the bins provided at the start and end points of the routes.
If you are a responsible traveller, be sure to minimise the impact of your visit to the Cultural and Natural Space of Las Medulas. Make small gestures that go a long way: eat local produce and travel by public transport if possible. By doing so, you will be contributing to the alignment of Las Médulas with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to reduce the negative socio-economic, cultural and environmental impacts on such an extraordinary place.
Leave the rush behind you
Add flexibility to your travel itinerary, and if you plan to see most of the corners of Las Médulas, leave free time for the sunrises and sunsets to surprise you with exceptional landscapes and for the more relaxed pace of its villages to inspire you.
Don’t rush to visit the same sites at the same time as most visitors. At Las Médulas everything is close by. Forget the stress, find a time that suits you, and let nothing stop you from getting goosebumps at Las Médulas.
