Astorga is one of my favorite places. The nice lady in the "Pilgrim store" across the street from the Guadi Palace, speaks perfect English, sells poles (mine were stolen) for only 25 Euro, and most importantly... will give you walking directions (4 minutes behind Cathedral) to the best café for thick, hot chocolate with churros. Astorga is famous for it"s chocolate (several chocolate factories in town) and in Spain, you don't drink the hot chocolate- it's too thick, - you dip your churros into it- Heaven!
And on your way out of town, about half way, you will come across a small church with A-Frame type roof and mosaic tile art covering the front. If open, go inside, and if the pastor is there and has time he will give you a great tour.
Then, just out side of town, you will walk by a small chapel. Built in the 1700's by a grateful mom when her baby was rescued by divine intervention. She had dropped her baby into a deep well and could not reach the baby. Then the well filled with water with her baby floating on top to her mother's grateful arms- or at least that's the legend I was told by a local man while driving me back to the camino after I wandered off, lost again.
The next stop is Murias de Rechivaldo. Super nice family cafe/bar. Stop and tell them Miguel "el guapo" sent you, see if they laugh. BUEN CAMINO
