Fairytale Castle Feels at Palacio de Gaudí

Palacio de Gaudí in Astorga, Castilla y León totally looks like it popped out of a storybook. I mean, Gaudí really went full fantasy mode with this one. It’s now the Museo de los Caminos, but honestly, even if you’re not a museum person, the building itself is reason enough to visit. Those towers, the stonework, the dreamy details, just wow. Inside, it’s a mix of cool religious art and Camino de Santiago history, since Astorga’s right on the route. It’s not too crowded either, so you can actually take your time without being shoved along. I wandered around slowly just taking it all in. The vibe is peaceful but also kind of mysterious in a fun way. The best part? The view from the top floors. You can see the whole town and the surrounding countryside, it’s stunning. Totally recommend pairing it with a stroll around the town afterward. Palacio de Gaudí is small town magic with big fantasy energy.
