Ponferrada - Villafranca de Bierzo

Day 27. We arrived in Villafranca del Beirzo. The town was quiet for the most part. We stayed in the Iglesia de San Nicolas el real, and ate a quiet meal in the town square. It had beautiful gardens in the middle of town which were well maintained. In the middle-ages, pilgrims who were too ill to continue were permitted to end their pilgrimage at the Iglesia de Santiago and consider it a success. We stopped at a local farm store and purchased our own Pimentos de Padron seeds for our garden at home.Leggi altro
