Villafranca
del Bierzo is on the famous pilgrimage road to Santiago, and the village has several
hostals for walkers and bikers doing the pilgrimage.
The parador is on
the edge of the village, and we recommend having a stroll around the quiet streets
of Villafranca when you arrive in the evening or first thing in the morning. A
walk around the whole village takes just about an hour, and there are some lovely
old buildings to admire, surrounded by impressive mountains.
The parador
has a lovely front garden, and a small park for children. Photos
