With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience all that Astorga, 20 miles away, has to offer. Astorga Cathedral should be at the top of your to-do list here. City Hall and Museo del Chocolate are interesting attractions too. Located 30 miles away, Puebla de Sanabria is another popular option. If you stop by, make sure you check out Ermita de San Cayetano, Azogue Church and Castle of the Counts of Benavente.
