If you’re looking for day-trip inspiration, we’ve got a couple of tips. Situated 30 miles away, Ponferrada is worth getting in the car for. Among your first stops here should be Castillo de los Templarios, Plaza del Ayuntamiento and Bodega del Abad. Locals will also probably point you toward Valdes, 35 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, let it be El Parque de la Vida. (But we’re also big fans of Gardens of La Fonte Baxa and Cape Busto.)
