폰페라다의 '기사단 성'은 가장 잘 보존된 사례 중 하나로, 12~13세기의 성 생활이 어떠했을지 엿볼 수 있는 곳이에요.

이글레시아 데 산타 마리아 데 라 엔시나 성당은 참나무 줄기에서 마리아의 형상이 발견되었다는 기사단 전설에서 유래한 이름입니다. 성 근처 마을에서 가장 오래된 지역에 위치해 있습니다

Fiesta

토요일은 장날입니다. 9월 8일에 시작되는 는 엘 비에르조의 수호성인인 (참나무)를 기념하는 축제로 일주일간 계속됩니다.

History
강과 강)이 만나는 지점에 위치한 폰페라다는 한때 로마의 가장 중요한 정착지 중 하나였어요. 그 이름은 원래의 다리 건설에서 유래되었습니다. 1082년에 지어진 이 다리는 철로 장식된 최초의 다리 중 하나로, '폰스 페라타'는 '폰페라다'가 되었습니다. 원래 다리는 더 이상 존재하지 않습니다.
The Road

에서 나오면 성을 지나 구시가지를 잠시 지나 다리를 건너게 됩니다. 다리 끝에서 우회전하세요. 길은 왼쪽으로 굽어지고 다음 큰 교차로에서 우회전합니다. 첫 번째 로터리를 지나 직진하고 두 번째 로터리에서 우회전하세요. 여기서부터 카미노는 공사 중인 임시 표지판을 따라가게 됩니다.

On the way into Ponferrada you’ll pass this spot. Unfortunately it wasn’t open when I went by bc of a public holiday, but it looked pretty shmick and modern.

Everything was closed due to “vacation” while we were here. We ended up at Domino’s Pizza for dinner and were truly grateful!

I had the best pilgrim menu since the whole Camino Frances started at Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. The restaurant owns two passionate and lovely pilgrims from Tirol and they really know what pilgrims need. All fresh ingredients, freshly cooked food and a good wide enough selection, also a good vegetarian menu. And just for 14,90 for the menu. And they're open for a good talk in Spanish :)

There is a wonderful festival going on in the city through September 7

I researched several of Ponferrada's best bars when I was updating the 2024 Lonely Planet Spain guidebook... and others too when I was making the trek that featured in my latest book - 'Vagabond: A Hiker's Homage to Rural Spain'.
La Bodega de Godivah (on the road facing the castle) is perhaps the best place to grab a beer and a snack and enjoy some pleasant people-watching.

On another note, there is a huge Decathlon just a kilometre from here that is fantastic if you need equipment for the mountains. After my 1,225km hike from Gibraltar I was in dire need of new hiking socks...and thermal underwear for potentially sleeping-rough in the mountains.

The gal that runs this shop is so kind and helpful, highly recommend stopping there for replacement clothes or equipment

It only adds time, no nice views.

What I liked: helpful layout. The hallways on each floor are wide, with lots of room to don or doff shoes. The first section of the room includes shower, toilet, sink, and lockers with included combination locks. Then there’s a sliding door separating this area from the bunks. Makes it easy to come and go without disturbing all the other sleeping people in the room.

What I found a bit odd is the way they assign people to rooms. How does an old lady end up in a room full of men?

Echoing other comments. This is a great shop with a lovely owner! Very helpful. Everything you might need. She has walked the Camino so understands!

Two good restaurant choices in one of the town squares IF you get tired of Pilgrim food. Its not Mexican like in the states but it will do in a pinch. Servers are nice and helpful. The pizza is super thin crust and yummy & an extensive menu if you don't want pizza. Their barrata salad is excellent as well, perfect for getting your greens into your diet!!
Another good thing is a "Radler" which is beer with lemon in it. Like a shandy, very refreshing on a hot day. It seems all the restaurants have them! Enjoy
