Ponferrada




Yesterday’s optional excursion for the students led us a bit further along the well-known “Camino de Santiago” (see the picture of the turned seashell) and into the heard of Ponferrada, a former Roman city and the site of a 13th century Templar castle. Although the Templars eventually disappeared from here, their influence was still very much visible throughout the castle and its surrounding areas, with many “T” (la tau) prominently displayed.
