Where to stay in Astorga
Astorga is a small city, so staying central puts you within easy walking distance of the Christmas market and the cathedral square. The City Centre is your best bet, with a handful of comfortable hotels and guesthouses right in the heart of things.
For something with a bit more character, Hotel Gaudi sits close to the iconic Gaudí palace and is a solid choice. If you prefer a quieter spot, Old Town has charming options that keep you close to the market without any need for a car.
