Astorga: chocolate heart.

There is much more to Astorga than the well-known "Palacio Episcopal" (Disneyesque ^^)... I'm thinking of the Chocolate Museum, or the Cathedral.

Astorga's Chocolate Museum (its doors open since 1994) shows how crucial the chocolate industry was for the city development during the XVIII and XIX centuries.

Astorga's Cathedral, the "beautiful unknown", awaits passers-by surrounded by silence and indifference. And so do other monuments such as Panero's house or Casa Granell...
