Museo Ferrocarril Ponferrada (Bierzo)
EL MUSEO DEL FERROCARRIL DE PONFERRADA: UN REFERENTE DEL PATRIMONIO INDUSTRIAL DE EL BIERZO.
Fue en el año 1984 cuando la Asociación Berciana de Amigos del Ferrocarril (ABERAF) expuso la conveniencia de acondicionar un Museo ferroviario en la capital berciana. Sus planteamientos fueron corroborados y confirmados plenamente en pocos años: abandono progresivo de la Línea Ponferrada-Villablino para el transporte de mineral, eliminación de trayectos y trenes, sustitución de las locomotoras de vapor por otras de gasoil, crisis minera, cierre de estaciones y apeaderos,...
Por fin, tras muchas reclamaciones, se consiguió el objetivo: se inauguraría el Museo tan esperado el día 26 de mayo de 1999, siendo Regidor ponferradino Ismael Álvarez, al que acompañaba el Consejero Jesús Merino.
Pronto también surgió otro planteamiento lógico: recuperación del uso de la línea métrica entre El Bierzo y Laciana para uso turístico. Este anhelo ya casi histórico es algo que, por justicia, se le debe a toda la Cuenca carbonífera del Valle del Sil, que tanto contribuyó durante el siglo XX al progreso social, económico, cultural,... de bercianos y lacianiegos. Y en ello se ha de insistir sin desmayo como reivindicación de un territorio que no desea perder su memoria reciente ni su historia y elementos arquitectónicos propios de nuestra revolución industrial.

Places to see in ( Ponferrada - Spain )
Ponferrada is the capital city of El Bierzo in the Province of León, Spain. Ponferrada lies on Sil River and it is completely surrounded by mountains. Ponferrada is the last major town on the French route of the Camino de Santiago before it reaches Santiago de Compostela.
Ponferrada lies in the Way of St. James, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and every year many pilgrims pass through the city in their way to Santiago de Compostela. Las Médulas, ancient Roman gold mines also included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site List, are only a few kilometres away from the city.
Ponferrada is also noted for its Castillo de los Templarios, a Templar castle which covers approximately 16,000 square meters. In 1178, Ferdinand II of León donated the city to the Templar order for protecting the pilgrims on the Way of St. James who passed through El Bierzo in their road to Santiago de Compostela.
The castle hosted the Knights Templar's Grand Master of Castille. However, the Templars were only able to enjoy the use of their fortress for about twenty years before the order was disbanded and its properties confiscated in 1311. Several noble houses fought over the assets until Alfonso XI allotted them to the Count of Lemos in 1340. Finally the Catholic Monarchs incorporated Ponferrada and its castle into the Crown in 1486. As with many other historical sites in Europe, many of the blocks that at one point formed the walls of the castle were removed and used in local construction projects. Extensive restoration works are ongoing. The Basilica de la Encina is a church built in the Renaissance style in 1573. Its baroque tower dates from 1614.
The El Bierzo Museum (Museo de El Bierzo) offers a tour of the history of the region and hosts several important archeological pieces, while the Museum of Radio ( Museo de la Radio) offers an interesting tour of the history of the radio in Spain. The National Energy Museum ( Museo Nacional de la Energía) is currently under construction, sponsored by the Energy City Foundation ( Fundación Ciudad de la Energía). It will include the restored building and equipment of Compostilla I, Spain's first coal-fueled power plant opened in 1949 in Ponferrada. The church of Santiago de Peñalba , the Hermitage of Santo Tomás de las Ollas (10th century) and the Romanesque Church of Santa María de Vizbayo are also nearby.
Ponferrada and its surroundings offer many opportunities for outdoor activities. There are many easily accessible hiking and cycling routes nearby, both on and off-road, including the 330 kilometer long La Mirada Circular which circles the whole El Bierzo valley. El Morredero peak (2135 m), 20 km from Ponferrada in the Aquilianos mountains, hosts a small ski resort.
Ponferrada is easily accessible by highway (Autovía A-6) and intercity public transportation is readily available, as several daily ALSA bus services and RENFE passenger trains link the city with major population centers in Spain and the rest of Europe. León Airport is the closest, while airports in Santiago, A Coruña, Asturias, Valladolid and Madrid Barajas provide alternative options for national and international air travel.

Etapa 23: Ponferrada a Villafranca del Bierzo.
Salimos de Ponferrada por una zona de regadíos y pequeños pueblos que han ido creciendo hasta unirse. Enseguida estamos rodeados de viñas, como es propio en la comarca del Bierzo, que nos acompañan hasta Cacabelos. Esta localidad guarda en la calle de Santa María todo su encanto barroco visible en las casas blasonadas y balcones corridos. Seguimos el camino hacia Villafranca por la carretera y siempre rodeados de viñedos. Villafranca del Bierzo está declarada Conjunto Histórico Artístico. Lo primero que vemos es su iglesia de Santiago, románica del siglo XII, y cuya Puerta del Perdón, que sólo se abre en año Xacobeo, concede el jubileo a aquellos peregrinos que no pueden llegar a Santiago. Otros lugares a vistar son el Castillo-Palacio de los Condes de Peña-Ramiro, la Colegiata de Santa María de Cluniaco y la calle del Agua, con sus balcones de rejería y escudos nobiliarios.
