The Town

Discover Astorga

Astorga, the ancient Asturica Augusta, is a two-thousand-year-old city and a crucial junction where the Camino Francés meets the Vía de la Plata. Its rich historical legacy is visible on every corner, from its Roman remains to its imposing walls. The city dazzles the pilgrim with two architectural masterpieces: the majestic Catedral de Santa María, with its blend of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles, and the Palacio Episcopal, a neo-Gothic fantasy designed by Antoni Gaudí that looks like a storybook castle. Beyond its heritage, Astorga is the capital of the comarca of La Maragatería, inviting the walker to try its hearty cocido maragato. With every service and a vibrant atmosphere, it is an essential cultural and gastronomic stop.
