The Bolín Bridge, in Posada de Valdeón (León), is a small but significant mountain bridge that is part of several hiking trails in the Picos de Europa, especially as an access route to the challenging Canal de Trea. It is located on the outskirts of Posada de Valdeón, towards the Mirador del Tombo and the beginning of the Canal de Trea. It is close to Fuente Prieta and areas such as El Agua Las Huertas, in a natural setting of great beauty.

The Bishop's Palace of Astorga is one of only three buildings that Antoni Gaudí built outside Catalonia.

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 on display and, of course, for the imaginative architecture of the building.

The Cathedral is undoubtedly the symbol of the city and its history dates back to the 10th century. The royal palace of Ordoño II was located on the old thermal baths and public buildings that the Legion VII had built in the mid-2nd century. In 917, after defeating the Arabs in the battle of San Esteban de Gormaz, the king, “thankful to God”, gave up his residence so that the first cathedral temple could be built there.

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
