Leaving from 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.

Which way it goes

From Ponferrada and Bembibre the route to Madrid is the A-6, climbing the Manzanal pass towards Astorga and continuing via Benavente and Tordesillas to the Guadarrama. It is a long trip in which the Manzanal and the mountains near Madrid are the tricky stretches in winter; for Barajas the route joins the M-40 or M-50 on reaching Madrid.

Aeropuerto Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas, seen from León

From León province people fly from Barajas, from Asturias or, in El Bierzo, from Galicia; León airport has few routes. For early flights, a car from home avoids spending the night before away.

Tip: In winter the Pajares and Manzanal passes and the mountain roads can have snow or ice: for an early flight or train, bring the pickup forward and check road conditions.
