Discover Astorga

Astorga, the ancient Asturica Augusta, is a 2000-year-old city and a crucial hub where the Camino Francés and the Vía de la Plata meet. Its rich historical legacy is visible in every corner, from its Roman ruins to its imposing walls. The city dazzles pilgrims with two architectural masterpieces: the majestic Cathedral of Saint Mary, blending Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles, and the Episcopal Palace, a neo-Gothic fantasy designed by Antoni Gaudí that resembles a fairy tale castle. In addition to its heritage, Astorga is the capital of the Maragatería region, inviting walkers to sample its robust Maragato cuisine. With all services and a lively atmosphere, it's an indispensable cultural and gastronomic stop.
