I'm a type of a person that almost always can find "something to do" practically anywhere.
A per-Camino full day in Ponferrada? Heck YEah!
I cannot argue that Leon is "better" - definitely much more to see and\or do but I would not fully...
Isobel, I want to thank you for recommending Alpinarium to me the night before I started the Invierno the last Sunday of April. I ate there as often as I could while I served at San Nicolas the second quincena of May.
What is the "one exceptional restaurant" in Ponferrada? I'm wondering if it is someplace I tried, probably not, given my budget, but I'm curious.
I just spent 2 weeks there as hospitalero at San Nicolas.
