灵心小榭赏味When traveling to the El Bierzo wine region, you must enjoy the food and wine here. In addition to the more idyllic Agoga restaurant in the village of Carrosedo and the Canado Palace Hotel Restaurant in Arganza, I would like to recommend 3 more exquisite restaurants in El Bierzo. 1.🏠🍴muna This is a one-star Michelin restaurant in Ponferrada. Walking into the very elegant two-story building, what makes people remember is that there are many small ant shapes in the restaurant space decoration. The small ants crawling on the wall next to the muna sign, the small ants guarding the dining table, and the small ants carrying the Michelin big white image. I asked and realized that the small ants are the self-image of the hardworking chefs. It is very humorous and interesting. The theme menu is to find ingredients and inspiration in the local environment of El Bierzo, and it is also paired with local wines to show the understanding of the food of this land. The wild mushroom soup and trout, quail and pine nut salad appetizers are inspired by the forested areas of the Meduras gold mines. Roasted cabbage with smoked foam and handmade bread is inspired by the San Pedro mountain monastery and the silent valley. Paired with rosé wine The main course of grilled sea bass, seaweed and chickpeas is inspired by the Atlantic breeze in Berzo near Galicia. Another main course of beef with foie gras and asparagus is inspired by the wilds near Asturias. Paired with Mencia dry red wine Dessert is strawberry ginger yogurt ice cream. 👣Visit the restaurant: Muna Restaurant 📍Location: Calle Gil y Carrasco 25, Ponferrada 💓Favorite dishes: Trout quail pine nut salad, potato meatballs, cod, etc. 2.🏠🍴7nails The second restaurant I recommend is 7nails, which means seven chairs in Chinese. It is located in the center of Ponferrada, in the Town Hall Square, diagonally opposite the Town Hall, and is easy to find. During the Templar Festival, there are drama performances in the square, which is very suitable for a casual meal after shopping and watching performances. The restaurant has an outdoor area with a transparent glass house, where you can dine while watching the street view, which is very popular. Its octopus with sour mayonnaise is a local traditional method, very delicious and worth a try. The local area is rich in chestnuts, and the chestnut pudding made with local chestnuts is very soft and delicious. However, if you feel that the chestnut desserts you order along the way are a bit heavy, you can try the fruit yogurt here, which is also very fresh and delicious. 👣Visit the restaurant: Seven Chairs Restaurant 📍Location: Pl Ayuntamiento 7, Ponferrada 💓Favorite dishes: Tomato and red pepper salad, octopus with sour mayonnaise, fruit yogurt dessert, etc. 3.🏠🍴De Floriana Molinaseca, 8 kilometers east of Ponferrada, is a suburban town where locals like to go to play in the water, and it is also a post town on the pilgrimage route. If you go to Molinaseca, it is recommended to try the De Floriana restaurant. The simple lines of the stone and wooden beam building, the high-ceiling space, have both medieval elements and modern atmosphere. The wine pairing is a fusion of local Spanish flavors and Mexican cuisine, which is delicate and fashionable. 🥏The first cold dish: a combination of Spanish cold soup, flying fish roe potato fish patties, avocado grapefruit crisps, and pork taco burritos 🍷Paired with godello dry white, the bright acidity is particularly harmonious with the tomato cold soup. 🥏The appetizer is Mexican spicy cold shrimp. The standard method is to marinate shrimp with chili and lemon juice, and add red onions, avocados, and cucumber slices. Floriana Restaurant has improved it and added seafood and vegetables such as squid and clams, which is more refreshing. 🍷Traditionally, it is served with Mexican beer, and it is indeed served with a Mexican-style beer cocktail 🥏The main course is fried turbot Rodaballo, served with a local orange-yellow sweet potato sauce that looks like pumpkin and carrot. 🍷 It is paired with a green cocktail made from Reineta apple juice, a local aromatic apple variety, and bourbon whiskey, which is fragrant and charming. 🥏The meat main course is steak 🍷 Paired with Mencía dry red wine 🍰The dessert is coconut cake with apple rum, which is a dessert version of coconut fragrance 👣Visit restaurant: Floriana Restaurant 📍Location: Avda. Fraga Iribarne S/N, Molinaseca 💓Favorite dishes: Spicy cold seafood, grilled turbot, Pina Colada dessert

灵心小榭赏味#Ancient towns and villages worth visiting The Bierzo area in León Province in northwestern Spain is a region where culture and nature are compatible. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 400 castles, some of which have been converted into hotels and restaurants. There are scattered ancient towns, monasteries, vineyards and farms. 📌Villafranca del Bierzo Translated as Frank Village or Bierzo Free Town, it can be reached by driving west from Ponferrada for half an hour. It is one of the core towns in the Bierzo production area. ⛪️There are several churches and monasteries built in the Middle Ages in the town. The Iglesia de San Francisco on the top of the mountain retains the ancient wood-carved mosaic dome, which is particularly beautiful and elegant. This is also a good viewing point to overlook the scenery of the town. 💃The 19th-century theater (Teatro Villafranquino) in the town is the cultural center of the town and is still in use. ☕️Villafranca del Bierzo Parador State-owned Castle Hotel is also an ideal viewing spot. You can order a cup of coffee, sit on a bench, and stare at the scenery of the ancient town. 🍇 Cantariña vinos de familia winery. From the town, along the Camino de Santiago, stroll a few kilometers to the vineyards of Cantariña Winery. You can look at the large vineyards while tasting wine with local cheese. I drank the particularly pure local white grape variety Godello and the very elegant Mencía. The winery's red wine is blended with 90% Mencía and 10% Palomino, a white grape variety commonly used to make sherry, so it has a more delicate and light feeling. 📌 Canedo Palace Driving more than ten kilometers northeast, we arrived at the Palacio de Canedo, a cultural monument in Arganzo with a history of at least 300 years. The entire building retains a strong medieval style, with hotels, restaurants, wineries, chestnut, sweet pepper and other local products processing, shops, and ancient vineyards on the slopes of the valley surrounding the castle. You can take a battery car to wander in the vineyard. There are not many rooms in the hotel, especially medieval style. If you have time, you can stay here for a night or two to fully experience the medieval pastoral life. 💡La Fábrica de Luz Energy Museum Before returning to Ponferrada, you can visit the Energy Museum converted from a thermal power plant that operated from 1920 to 1971. Today, it is an exhibition hall and cultural center, as well as a green botanical garden, to experience the transformation from polluting industry to clean energy life.
