In the heart of Astorga, right next to the cathedral, lies one of the most unusual bishop's residences on the Iberian Peninsula: the Palacio Gaudi. It was designed and built by the famous Spanish architect of the same name (Antonio Gaudi, 1852-1926). A visit to the museum housed here is worthwhile both for the exhibits presented to visitors and, of course, for the imaginative architecture of the building.

The elaborately restored village of Castrillo de los Polvazares with less than 100 inhabitants is a typical example of the architecture of the Maragatería region

It is also known as Cruz de Fierro (Iron Cross). A mountain landmark (1504 m) that stands on the French Way in the mountains of León as it passes through the province of the same name, corresponding to the autonomous community of Castilla y León. 230 km from Santiago. It is one of the best-known and most symbolic places of all the Jacobean routes, and perhaps for this reason the most mythologised and exciting, with the Monte do Gozo de Santiago, the first place from which pilgrims on the French Way observe the city of Santiago.

The "iron cross" here on Monte Irago, which is legendary for many pilgrims on the Camino Frances to Santiago de Compostela to the grave of the Apostle James the Greater, has since been replaced by a copy at the original location. The cross, which appears comparatively small due to its enormous height, stands out from a constantly growing pile of stones at the top of a very long tree trunk. Many pilgrims take a stone with them on the Way of St. James and lay it here. This stone symbolizes the burdens and needs of the pilgrims (or their family members and friends at home), who in this way symbolically cast off their worries at this point with the stone, and can thus move on free of them.

On June 24, 1889, the prelate's name day, the first stone was laid. They had planned to complete the work on the palace in June 1894, but the bishop died in 1893, and this event radically changed the course of the work, paralyzed by the hostility between Gaudí and the Diocesan Council. Finally, Antonio Gaudí resigned from his post as chief architect, very upset by the treatment he received. In 1905, D. Julián de Diego y Alcolea ruled the diocese of Astorga and tried to convince Gaudí to return to the works of the palace, but he did not succeed. Ricardo García-Guereta, diocesan of León, was appointed architect and completed the work on October 12, 1913, as bishop D. Julián de Diego y Alcolea

Although the bridge is believed to be of Roman origin, its current structure is primarily medieval Romanesque, with some later renovations in the 18th and 20th centuries. It is built of ashlar and cobblestone and consists of seven spans of varying sizes. It is the starting point of the town's main street, Calle Real, which ends at a cross and is home to most of Molinaseca's rural houses, bars, and restaurants. If you ever have the opportunity to visit it, you will immerse yourself in the rich Jacobean tradition and enjoy its historical beauty. 🚶‍♂️🌉

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjMbL4zYjok El Ganso has a rich Jacobean tradition, having had a female monastery of the Order of Cluny and a hospital of Saint Catherine, both from the 12th century and now gone. The name of El Ganso already appeared in documents from the 14th century, and the town was under the lordship of the Marquises of Astorga in Turienzo de los Caballeros. Its traditional architecture includes the so-called “tinted houses”, with thatched roofs, which are a clear indication of the Celtic substratum that inhabited this region. These characteristics make El Ganso a place with a deep historical and cultural connection with the region and the Camino de Santiago. The population of El Ganso was 23 inhabitants in 2017, reflecting a significant decrease since the beginning of the 20th century when it had more than 200 residents. Regarding its festivities, El Ganso celebrates two main events: the Festival of Santiago on July 25 and the Festival of Our Lady of the Assumption on August 15. During the Festival of Santiago, it is a tradition for the young people of the town to decorate the porch of the Church and the town's Christ with ivy, and at the mass that day, castanets and drum music plays.

Crossing the river on the old bridge from Roman times, you can imagine the sound of the Roman legions passing by. On a summer day, you might want to jump in for a swim.

It is actually a windmill, which is rare in the area, of course. When recognition as BIC was made, there was talk of being linked to a castle. But it's a windmill ;)
