The best part about having your own rental car is that you can go where you want, when you want. Make the most of your newfound freedom by discovering all that there is to do in Ponferrada. It’s just 30 miles away. Castillo de los Templarios, Plaza del Ayuntamiento and Bodega del Abad alone make the drive out worth it. Locals will also probably point you toward Astorga, 40 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Astorga Cathedral. (But we’d also recommend City Hall and Museo del Chocolate.)
