Ponferrada is in El Bierzo. What the area is like and what trips start there
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.

Oviedo, seen from León
Oviedo lies to the north, crossing the mountains via the AP-66 and the Huerna toll tunnel, or over the Pajares pass. It is a trip for work, appointments and family, and in winter the state of the passes decides the route.
Tip: For Las Médulas, allow plenty of time for the return: walks around the site tend to take longer than planned and there is no alternative transport if the pickup is missed.
What the price includes
- Door-to-door pickup and help with luggage.
- Complimentary waiting and flight or train tracking.
- Child restraint systems if you need them.
- The 10 % Spanish VAT on passenger transport.
Tolls and parking, where the route requires them, are itemised in the quote before you confirm. There are no hidden charges: any supplement is shown in the quote before you confirm.

Before you book, this may help
- From León to Oviedo, Gijón and the neighbouring capitals, and to Atocha: the train through the Pajares bypass, the coach or a car with a driver via the Huerna, the A-66 and the A-231
From León the direct train works well towards Asturias, through the Pajares bypass to Oviedo and Gijón, and towards Palencia and Valladolid on the high-speed line; towards Burgos the offer is limited and towards Zamora there is no train.
- Hotels and rural houses in León, El Bierzo and La Maragatería: how to offer transfers to guests arriving by AVE at León station, by air at Barajas or Asturias, or on foot along the Camino
Accommodation in León province takes in more and more guests without a car: they arrive by AVE at León station, by air at Barajas, {{ruta:leon-a-aeropuerto-madrid-barajas:km}} from the capital, or at Asturias, {{ruta:leon-a-aeropuerto-de-asturias:km}} away, and many on foot along the French Way.
- Driving a private hire car in León: León station, La Virgen del Camino airport, Barajas and El Bierzo, and the method and variables for knowing whether a job pays
León is a large, thinly populated, mountainous province, and for a driver that means less frequent and longer jobs than in a city: the link between the villages and León station, the only high-speed one, the airports, La Virgen del Camino when it has a flight, Asturias through the Huerna and Barajas along the A-6, and the appointments at the León and Ponferrada hospitals.
