With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy everything that Ponferrada, 35 miles away, has to offer. Castillo de los Templarios, Plaza del Ayuntamiento and Bodega del Abad alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Valdes is another wonderful option. It’s 35 miles away and has tons of interesting things to see and do. El Parque de la Vida, Gardens of La Fonte Baxa and Cape Busto are just the start.
