Fuentes Nuevas marks the point where Ponferrada's suburbs finally give way to the Bierzo countryside. A couple of bars and basic services. The vineyards of the Bierzo DO begin to line the road — Mencía and Godello grapes thrive in this valley's microclimate.

This was the first place open for breakfast after Ponferrada. The first cafe as you enter the village served great coffee and napolitanas.

We went to a lovely little pub / cafe in Fuentes nuevas. It was off the beaten track but worth the detour. The cafe is called Meson Los Comensales. The people had no English but were welcoming and we had a lovely meal.
