The Bierzo region enjoys a special microclimate, a result of the combination of the Atlantic climate and the continental Mediterranean. The berciano climate allows an excellent production of fruits and vegetables. As well as a magnificent variety of wines, among which those registered in the Denomination of Origin Bierzo stand out. In El Bierzo we can enjoy an incipient rural tourism based on the beauty of its natural landscapes such as the Ancares, or created by man as Las Médulas, a gold exploitation carried out by the Romans and now declared a World Heritage Site; as well as the Camino de Santiago.
In El Bierzo you can find some of the most important examples of Mozarabic art, such as the church of Santiago de Peñalba and the church of Santo Tomás de las Ollas. We can also find important samples of all the artistic, Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, ...
To the landscape and cultural wealth is added an important gastronomic heritage that complements the traditional winemaking and consumption. The kitchen is based on the products of the land, among which are a fertile orchard and the Botillo as ambassador of excellence.
