Astorga (Spain) Travel - Palace
Take a tour of Astorga Palace in Astorga, Spain -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
Astorga Palace, also known as Episcopal Palace, is a towering monument in the town of Astorga in northwestern Spain.
This sparkling edifice was designed by the famed Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi between 1889 and 1913.
It epitomizes the Modernisme style of architecture, which was inspired by the Catalan modernist cultural movement.
The present structure was built upon the ashes of the previous Astorga Palace, which was destroyed in a fire in the 19th century.
The granite exterior, coupled with Gaudi's signature arches, buttresses, and side chimneys, create a thoroughly stunning façade.
The building became the residence of Astorga's bishop, and now houses a museum dedicated to the pilgrimage route of the Way of Santiago.

Things to do in Spain. Visit Can Sueno
What are the things to do in Spain? There is a great choice of things to do here, but today let`s go to the mountains close to Torrevieja. Here, in Tarbena, we visited a very nice and a bit unusual restaurant with amazing scenery around and spectacular view on the mountains.
This place is opened 3 times a week, from 2 pm till the end of the dinner. We left at 7pm being in very good mood and with a firm intention to come back again and again.
There are no waiters, good-natured restaurant owners serve you with a kind and sincere smile. A great married couple who owns this restaurant had lots of surprises for guests. Meals are prepared with organic products that grow or produce in the locality. There is no a certain recipe for the meals. Hennie (the owner and the chef of the restaurant) is an artist and every dish is made by inspiration and with all her heart. You can see the scenery and the dishes in video, but to be honest, the reality is much better.
Still thinking on things to do in Spain? Come to Torrevieja and have the best vacation here visiting many interesting places around. There are about 130 km from Torrevieja to that restaurant. While you driving there, you can watch VERY nice scenery around. The road to Tarbena is very interesting with lots of surprises from Mother Nature.
