| What is it? |
El Arroyo de San-Bol is home to a miraculous spring that is said to heal the wounds of anyone who bathes in its water! |
| What makes it historical? |
The albergue and spring are all that remain of civilization in what used to be a small village with a hospital for Pilgrims, built in honor of San Baudilio by the order of St. Anthony, who specialized in the treatment of people suffering from ergotism, a.k.a. St. Anthony’s fire! |
| HOW CAN I HELP KEEP IT HISTORICAL? |
IT’S EASY!
- You can be a responsible visitor! That means respecting the signs and pathways and treating all structures and artifacts with respect! After all, they’ve endured a lot already to make it into the present! They’ll need our help to make it to the future!
