Eria Bridge in Castrocalbón

Highlight • Bridge

There are several theories about the peculiar name of this Castro: some suggest that it comes from the lime that was manufactured here; others if it was founded by a member of the Calvo Roman family; It is also thought that it may be due to the oak-based charcoal that was produced in its vicinity, and there are those who think that the origin of the name is, on the contrary, Mozarabic.

Plaza Mayor of La Bañeza

Highlight • Settlement

Important town in Leon with a rich architectural heritage that surprises many of its visitors. I love its main square and its railway infrastructure, which I think give it all its character, but there are also buildings like the churches of San Salvador or Santa María, or even the Town Hall, which are quite impressive.
