Worth the detour from Santa Colomba de las Monjas

1 notable place within an hour's drive.

restaurant

Bodega El Capricho

Cave-bodega in a tiny León village where José Gordón rears retired oxen for years, then dry-ages the enormous chuletones that critics have repeatedly called the best beef on earth. A genuine pilgrimage detour off the A-6.
