Battle of Turienza de los Caballeros
What is it?
In those days, the town remembers the battle against Napoleon in Astorga, where he arrived to on the 1st of Januare in 1809 to fight against the general John Moore’s British army – a Spanish ally – in Astorga and León.
The agenda of the event includes conferences, a recreation of the battle, an homage to those who died in that battle and a floral offering on the monolite that conmemorates that battle, located in one of Turienzo’s square.
