The joy of having your own wheels is that you can travel where you want, when you want. Make full use of your freedom by discovering all there is on offer in Leon. It’s just 19 miles away. Among the first stops you make here ought to be Leon Cathedral, Convento de San Marcos and San Isidro Basilica. Locals are also likely to point you toward Ponferrada, 35 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Castillo de los Templarios. (But we’re also big fans of Plaza del Ayuntamiento and Bodega del Abad.)
