From Astorga we get to Leon through the 120 National Road. Once there,
we can admire its gardens with great walking ways, squares with their
monuments and fountains. Leon is a historic city but modern at the
same time.
We need to visit the Cathedral, the most beautiful one in the Spanish
Gothic. Curiosities about the "Pulchra Leonina", museums and the rest
of the things in the Cathedral will be explained through a guided
route.
The Real Basilica de Saint Isidoro of Romanic Art, Saint Marcos' Convent
of the Renaissance (nowadays a luxurious National Parador), noble
palaces, churches and convents can be visited as well.
In the "Barrio Húmedo" in the old part of the city, we can find several
bars and mesons to taste a good variety of the cuisine from León.
