Manjarín is a very small, almost deserted and ruined city on the Camino in the province of León, Castile-Leon.
Manjarin The first written mention dates from 1180: King of León Fernando admits in a document between the owner of the Pilgrims Hospice and Manjarín El Acebo, Doña Maria Joanez, privileges. This hospice was later moved directly to Manjarín and finds in the 17th Century mention it again. The population of Manjarin have never been particularly high: 1561: 4 households, 1587 and 1597: 5 households. At the beginning of the 19th Century, the city lost the last inhabitants and lapsed. The parish church of the place was dedicated to Saint Martin.
A man who saw themselves as the successors of the Knights Templar, founded in Manjarín in the 1990s, a simple Pilgrim hostel, which is after the withdrawal of the founder still flagged with the flag of the Templars and is now being exploited by a couple.
Towards Ponferrada few kilometers after the town begins a long and winding descent with a very steep gradient, ending only in Molinaseca. Radpilger be there called for special care.
