Tebaida Berciana Tour

The Tebaida Berciana is an area of the province of León with great historical and natural value that was declared a Picturesque Landscape and an Asset of Cultural Interest. To begin the tour, we'll meet at the indicated time in the parking lot of Montes de Valdueza.

First, we'll visit the monastery of San Pedro de Montes, one of the most important in El Bierzo, founded by San Fructuoso in the 7th century. Impressive rooms include the kitchen, the abbot's quarters, and the church.

After touring the monastery, we'll return to the parking lot of Montes de Valdueza. You will follow the guide in your own car to Peñalba de Santiago. After a 15-minute drive, we will arrive at this small village known for its charm.

We'll start the tour of Peñalba by visiting the Mozarabic church, followed by a walk through the cobbled streets where we will see typical houses with slate roofs.

Finally, after exploring the Tebaida Berciana for 2.5 hours, we will conclude the tour with views from the viewpoint of Peñalba de Santiago.
