Capital of the region of El Bierzo, is one of the major staging posts on the Pilgrim's Road to Santiago de Compostela as it passes through the province of León. The historic quarter of this town sits below an imposing castle built by the Knights Templar.

The first records of Ponferrada are as a former citadel in Roman times. From the 11th century, the rise in pilgrimages to Santiago de Compostela spurred the appearance of the hamlet of Pons Ferrata, located on the Pilgrim's Route to Santiago de Compostela and named in this way because of the building of a bridge reinforced with iron. In 1178, the King Fernando II of León placed this flourishing settlement under the custody of the Order of the Temple. The Knights Templar used the site of a primitive Roman fortress to build a castle in which they settled and which, at the same time, protected the passing pilgrims.

Let's enjoy a different experience for lunch. I'll book a Michelin starred restaurant town so you can see the differences between the amazing local food and the haute cuisine in this pother kind of restaurants, something you must do once, at least!

Visit the first underwater winery and artificial reef in the world with over 8 years research in underwater wines.

The team of master winemakers seek out and blend unique terroir based on years of experience. They then ‘treasure’ these wines in the sea to bring out their full potential.

The results are limited-edition underwater wines of extraordinary quality. Located in the Bay on the Basque Coast of Spain, the art of wine making has been taken to new depths by perfecting the science of underwater aging.

Meet one of the founding members and learn more about the passion and history behind the wines.

Sample the undersea wines on land or aboard a boat, try a duet tasting, or simply take in the spectacular scenery of the Bay of Bilbao.

Experiences include: On Land tasting (1 hour), Comparative wine tasting (1 hour), and Boat ride & Wine tasting (3 hours).
