Buena Vista Travel Club: Leon

Leon Spain

Leon is a charming small town located in the north of Spain in the Castilla y Leon region. Symbolized by images of lions, this town takes great pride in its historical heritage. The city continues to remind the world that it was home to 24 kings before Castile established laws. Despite reaching its zenith in the 11th century, this bright and airy city remains incredibly attractive. The Plaza Mayor, with its beautiful arcades and cafes, is the ideal starting point to explore Leon's old center. The city's main attractions include the massive Cathedral, a 13th-century Gothic spectacle with magnificent stained-glass windows, and the Basilica of San Isidoro, which houses a royal pantheon adorned with impeccably preserved Romanesque frescoes. With its broad avenues and open spaces, pedestrian areas, and the Bernesga River offering shaded walks along its banks, Leon is truly a stunning city.
