Leaving from Astorga y La Maragatería
Astorga, with its cathedral, Roman walls and Gaudí's episcopal palace, is the gateway to La Maragatería and a key stop on the Camino de Santiago. It sits where the A-6, AP-71 and N-120 meet, halfway between León and El Bierzo.
Which way it goes
To the north, the AP-66 crosses the mountains through the Huerna tunnel into Asturias, with the toll-free N-630 over Pajares as the alternative; to the south, the A-66 runs down to Zamora via Benavente; to the east, the A-231 follows the Camino to Burgos; and from El Bierzo, the A-6 leads into Galicia. Valladolid is reached on the N-601.
Palencia, seen from León
Palencia is on the León–Madrid railway line; by road the route crosses the Tierra de Campos to the south-east. A car is booked when a specific address or a time the train does not cover is involved.
On arrival: Palencia capital
The city of Palencia, on the Carrión river, holds the hospital, the high-speed station, provincial government offices and most services. People come in daily from across the province for appointments and errands, and many connections with trains and with Valladolid start here.
Tip: If you are leaving from El Bierzo, compare flights from Santiago or Asturias before booking to Barajas: depending on the destination, the airport run can be much shorter.
