In Ciñera, there is one of the best preserved beech trees in Spain, the Faedo of Ciñera, located near the village, next to a mine.
The Faedo of Ciñera is a small forest located in Ciñera de Gordón (León), about 35km from the capital. The colour of the forest, in autumn, is spectacular and has a tree of more than 500 years, known as "Fagus". In 2007, the Forest received an award for the “most careful forest in Spain”.

To get to Faedo, you have to get to Ciñera and leave the car near the church or at the sports center. There is a road of 1.5 km approximately until reaching a mine entry.

We follow a small wooden walkway and, in a few metres, the road widens and we contemplate this beautiful picture.

Finally, we enter the Faedo, reminiscent of a forest enchanted by its colour and the sinuous shapes of the trees ...

After a good walk, through the Faedo, you will surely be hungry and, therefore, I recommend the restaurant "La Hornaguera".
