With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up all that Sahagun, 30 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here ought to be Santuario de la Peregrina, San Pedro de las Dueñas Monastery and San Tirso Church. The locals will also probably point you toward Astorga, 40 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Astorga Cathedral. (But we’d also highly recommend City Hall and Museo del Chocolate.)
