Next to the Villameca reservoir is Quintana del Castillo, the head of its municipality and which, even though it was small, always played a role of some importance on the path of those who headed towards Astorga from the north. Little remains of the castle in its name, but its church is quite beautiful.

Astorga

Highlight • Settlement

In Astorga, it's worth taking a short walk to enjoy the city's impressive architecture: Above all, of course, the cathedral and the Episcopal Palace, designed by Antoni Gaudí, the architect known for masterpieces such as the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. Today, the Museo de los Caminos (Roads Museum) is located in the Episcopal Palace, which is also worth a visit. In Plaza de España, you can also sit comfortably and have a coffee with a view of the equally impressive town hall.
