Tucked beneath Monte Sadurnin, almost on the border with Galicia, the peaceful village of Corullon boasts an imposing medieval castle " El Castillo de los Marqueses de Villafranca" and two fine Romanesque churches, San Miguel and San Esteban.
Backed by chestnut woods and surrounded by cherry orchards with vineyards and hills beyond, the Rio Burbia gently winds its way through. The stunning view from the Mirador maps out the
roads that lead to the magnificent gold mines of Las Medulas, the unique Valle del Silencio where time has stopped and the dramatic mountains of the Ancares Lucences.
