The Parador is located at the entrance of the town, in the upper part, some 350 metres from the main N-VI road. Villafranca is at km 406 of the N-VI (Madrid-A Coruna), with a meticulous and spacious entrance from the main road which passes the Parador and continues to the Plaza Mayor. This Parador is located in the illustrious town of Villafranca del Bierzo, capital of a very beautiful region and former station on the road to Santiago. Its architecture imitates the lines and forms of nearby, closely-felt Galicia. The landscapes of the Ancares mountain range to the north complement the beauty of the Parador's garden.
