What to do and see in Astorga, Castile and Leon: The Best Budget-friendly Things to do

March 25, 2022 Osvaldo Hartline

The unique and intricate work of the Palacio Episcopal de Astorga by modernist architect Antoni Gaudi is a must see in Astorga. Along the Pilgrim’s Road, the town has preserved churches, convents and many other structures important to the history of this region in Spain. Make sure to also visit the Gardens of La Sinagoga and the Chocolate Museum. The town center is a great place to try regional fare—indulge in the local stew.

We spent a few hours slowly walking around the inside and outside of this beautiful building - there is so much to see and take in, so much detail in the construction, and the natural light inside shows off Gaudi's incredible talent.

I was curious about this Museum. We were greeted when we got in. You can visit the museum at your own pace and enjoy reading about the history of the introduction of chocolate in Spain. It is interesting seeing all the old and modern machinery involved in the process. As a plus at the end of the visit you can taste a sample of the different types of chocolate that they have for sale. The chocolate was excellent!!
