Discover a beautiful Spanish city in a more personal way on our Ponferrada Private Tour. You'll explore the charms of El Bierzo's historic capital accompanied by an exclusive guide just for you!
Description
At your chosen time, we'll meet at the entrance ramp to the Templar Castle, located next to the Church of San Andrés. Here, we'll get our private tour of Ponferrada started so we can begin exploring the most fascinating places in the provincial capital of El Bierzo.
The first place we'll visit will be the castle, so we can learn all about this extraordinary fortress. This castle once belonged to the powerful Order of the Knights Templar. We'll also climb to the top of its defensive towers to admire incredible views of Ponferrada and the surrounding mountains.
Next, we'll stop at the foot of the Moclín Tower before heading to the iconic Casa de los Escudos. After learning all about its history, we'll head to the Virgen de la Encina Square, from which the beautiful Reloj Street starts.
In this last street, we'll also pass by the Museum of Bierzo, which houses an old prison from the 16th century. We'll also learn about the defensive history of the town by observing the ancient remains of the wall of Ponferrada.
Having spent 2 hours sightseeing, our private tour of Ponferrada will come to an end as we return to the starting point.
