Car hire in Ponferrada

The city of Ponferrada is divided into the old town and the new town. The capital of El Bierzo is constantly growing and this is due to the fact that it is a city full of life.

El Bierzo is a region in the province of León with one of the longest history in Spain. You can find points of interest from different periods of history throughout the Bierzo region. A good way to get to know the region is to hire a car in Ponferrada and take a road trip.

Its old town lies at the foot of the imposing Castillo de los Templarios (Templar Castle). We recommend you to visit its castle, the church of San Andrés, the Clock Tower and its museums. In addition, in the area of the new town you will find many shops and restaurants, all of them around the Avenida de España. Some of the streets near this avenue are pedestrianised, so we recommend that you park your car nearby to be able to visit this area.

Thanks to the spectacular adaptation of the area in the field of communications, Ponferrada has become one of the most important centres for the service and business sector. All this in the middle of a landscape with Templar castles, medieval walls, Renaissance churches and old forge ironworks, places that we can easily visit if we have a good rental car and free time to travel.

You can rent a car in Ponferrada thanks to Pepecar and visit the city and its surroundings comfortably.
