Triollo lies at the foot of Curavacas; the village lies by the dam, or at the far end of the Camporredondo Reservoir. The Carrión first flows through the Pineda valleys before emptying into the reservoir. The P-210, known as the Reservoir Road, is a useful reference point for getting there: at kilometre 21, it runs tangentially past the village centre. If you are looking for a hotel in Triollo, you can combine the village’s location with regional routes and historical themes, then decide which focus matters most for your trip.

Routes to Suit Your Interests

The first section of the mountain bike route from Triollo to Guardo follows the Camino Real towards La Lastra and runs along the left bank of the Camporredondo Reservoir. Spring through autumn is recommended for this route. However, snow may lie at the Cruz de Valsurbio pass in winter and even in spring. If you are considering a spring ride, take this possibility of snowfall into account and check local route conditions before setting off.

The GR1 also provides a specific guide for choosing a hike: its fourth stage from Cervera de Pisuerga ends in Triollo, while the stage from Triollo to Camporredondo de Alba starts here and offers views of Curavacas and the reservoir. The mountain bike route follows the left bank of the reservoir, while the GR1 stage is noted for its views of the mountain and water. The two routes therefore offer different experiences. Conditions on the GR1 stage can vary by season; check local conditions before setting out.

Local History and Culture

The Church of El Salvador in Triollo has Romanesque origins. Most of the village’s houses are made of stone. The named church and the predominantly stone houses are distinct features of the village’s appearance. A branch of the Cañada Real Leonesa, a historic livestock droving route, passes through the village. This route adds another local connection to the architectural history: livestock being driven through Triollo.

The historic watermill also forms part of the area’s history of provisioning. It supplied flour and light to Triollo, Vidrieros and La Lastra. These two services illustrate its former role for several villages and offer a different focus for a historical perspective than the church and livestock droving route.

Vidrieros within the Municipality

Vidrieros is a village within the municipality of Triollo. Various routes and paths lead from there into the mountains. A cross of Celtic origin is kept in the village chapel. For a look beyond Triollo, Vidrieros thus offers both paths into the mountains and a specific cultural point of interest. Information about these paths refers to Vidrieros; the history of Triollo itself is represented by the Church of El Salvador, the Cañada Real Leonesa and the historic watermill.
