    Although Ponferrada is the capital and economic epicenter of the region, Villafranca del Bierzo is the historical capital and hides within it an artistic heritage that is well worth a slow and leisurely visit.

      Villafranka invites you to linger with its small bars and accommodation and is an excellent start!

        Vilafranca del Bierzo... It has been a Historic-Artistic Site since 1965.
        This is the only gateway on the Camino de Santiago, along with the Cathedral itself, where these Jubilee graces can be obtained.
        In the years of Compostela, if a pilgrim cannot continue... due to illness or accident,
        by fulfilling the necessary privileges...just as in the Cathedral of Santiago.
