Brazuelo is a Maragato municipality in the province of León, located 62 kilometres from the capital, on the stretch where the Maragatería region climbs towards the Montes de León. Its territory, crossed by the Noroeste motorway, ranges from 900 metres beside the Argañoso river to 1,485 metres at the La Mocera peak, with the Manzanal pass, at 1,229 metres, as a natural route towards El Bierzo; the town itself stands at 1,019 metres. It brings together nine villages, among them El Ganso and Pradorrey, waypoints of the Camino Francés on its climb towards the Cruz de Ferro. It now has around 305 inhabitants.
