In Caspedro, a turn-off leads to the monumental complex of Quiroga's pilgrim hospital. The old pilgrimage path went to the important Romanesque Iglesia de San Salvador. Other monuments at the site include the Casa de los Caballeros (House of the Knights), a 16th-century manor house, and the Torre Casa Hospital, also from the 16th century. The detour is short and worth it if you have the time.

Took about an hour to return to the camino.
Nothing remains of the Casa Santa a Hospital. The is a church and some old houses including one perhaps owned by a French knight who had come to fight the Moors.
The immediate way back stops at some fields. Best to start back the same as coming and take the first road to the right. The rest of the detour track is okay.
