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
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.
Las Médulas, seen from León
Las Médulas, the former Roman gold mine declared a World Heritage Site, lie south-west of Ponferrada. They are explored on foot from the village of Las Médulas and the viewpoints, and there is hardly any public transport: a car is the practical way to get there and back.
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.
