Leaving from León y su alfoz
The city of León and San Andrés del Rabanedo, right next to it on the west, work as a single city in practice. Together they hold the province's main hospital, the high-speed station, the university and the cathedral, and they are where half the province comes for appointments and paperwork.
Which way it goes
Internal trips in León province are long and often through the mountains: from Villablino to the capital, or from El Bierzo to León, means crossing passes. The most requested trips are from the towns to the León or El Bierzo hospitals, to León station and to Camino de Santiago stages, where public transport does not reach or runs only a few times a day.
Ponferrada, seen from León
Between towns in León province distances are large and buses few, especially in the mountains; a short drive may have no direct public transport link at all.
On arrival: El Bierzo
El Bierzo is a basin ringed by mountains in the west of the province, with Ponferrada as its capital and Bembibre in the Upper Bierzo. It has its own hospital, vineyards with their own designation of origin and Las Médulas, and for many trips it looks to Galicia before León.
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.
