The Parador de Villafranca del Bierzo is a 4-star hotel, located in the town of the same name, very close to the autonomous community of Galicia. It is surrounded by nature in the region of El Bierzo, in the middle of the Camino de Santiago route, and 138 km away from León. Its rooms are modern with a stately touch. The large windows offer beautiful views of the north--west of the region of El Bierzo and the south of the Sierra de los Ancares. Its services include 2 seasonal swimming pools, one outdoors and one indoors with sauna and ice fountain, as well as a library, a garden terrace with views of the surrounding nature and several business halls. The restaurant offers a menu with typical Bierzo dishes: trout, cured meats, pie, peppers, chestnuts and botillo (meat-stuffed pork intestine), all washed down with the best wines from the Bierzo region.
