If you have a spare day or two and you don’t mind traveling 20 miles, take a look at Sahagun. This place boasts plenty of things to keep you engaged. Santuario de la Peregrina, San Pedro de las Dueñas Monastery and San Tirso Church alone justify the drive. Locals will also probably point you toward Astorga, 40 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, let it be Astorga Cathedral. (But we’re also big fans of City Hall and Museo del Chocolate.)
