    Hiking

    The passion of the city of Ponferrada and the entire Bierzo region for their patron saint has given rise to so much devotion and beauty in this place of meeting and prayer. The information and treasures found in different areas inside the basilica are a summary of splendors and difficult moments that did not stop the desire to gather all that legacy.
    If you ever get the chance to visit, you are sure to enjoy its rich history and spiritual atmosphere! 🙏✨

    The Basilica of Our Lady of the Holm Oak, located in the old town of Ponferrada, is one of the most emblematic churches in the Bierzo region and a key point on the Camino de Santiago.
    It was built on the remains of a 12th-century medieval church known as Santa María. Construction of the current basilica began in 1573 and was completed a century later.

    On your tour of the city, I recommend that you visit the Basilica of Our Lady of the Encina. If it's open, take a few minutes to look at the magnificent vaulted ceiling and golden altar.
