Villablino is in Laciana. What the area is like and what trips start there

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.

Castillo de los Templarios de Ponferrada, seen from León

The Templar castle overlooks Ponferrada beside the Sil river, in the old town and right on the Camino de Santiago. It is the city's main sight and a waypoint for many pilgrims.

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.

When demand peaks

• The French Way in León (spring to autumn, especially summer): The French Way crosses the province through Sahagún, León, Astorga and Ponferrada, and in season many pilgrims need to reach the start of a stage, skip a section or get home from the station.
• Ponferrada Templar Night (July): The Templar Night fills Ponferrada's old town and the castle area with a parade and events that end late; the centre is closed to traffic and returns to the Bierzo villages bunch up in the early hours.

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.

What the price includes
