Peñalba viewpoint · Peñalba de Santiago

At Alto de la Cruz, on a strategic point in the Bierzo region, stands a unique viewpoint that pays homage to Mozarabic art. The centerpiece, a work in Corten steel by the artist Rogelio Pacios, recreates the iconic door of the church of Santiago de Peñalba, accompanied by a quote from Father Flórez in his work España Sagrada (Sacred Spain). From this enclave you can enjoy breathtaking views over Peñalba de Santiago, Montes de Valdueza and Montes Aquilianos. The viewpoint, inaugurated by the City Council of Ponferrada, includes a bench where you can contemplate the immensity of the landscape of Bierzo.
