    Hiking

    If you are interested in visiting the castle, keep in mind that it opens its doors on specific dates. For example, during the May 1 long weekend, visiting hours are 11:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m.
    The castle of Villafranca del Bierzo is a historical testimony and a place with impressive views. I hope you enjoy exploring it! 😊

    Hiking

    The mighty masonry of the castle complex, which used to have an important protective function, is still impressive today. According to the count of the "Rother" hiking guide, you reach Villafranca del Bierzo on the 24th stage of the Camino frances, coming from Ponferrade.

    Hiking

    Villa Franca del Bierzo is one of the most important places on the Way of St. James. Here you could get the Compostela if you were too sick or too exhausted. Many pilgrim graves were therefore found.
