Why visit León?

Because in this city you will find the Cathedral of Santa María de Regla, the first "monument" declared in Spain. This impressive Gothic temple, considered one of the most beautiful in the world, is also located in the middle of the Camino de Santiago.
In this capital you can also visit other religious centers, such as the Basilica of San Isidro and the Old Convent of San Marcos. Within its civil architecture, the Palacio de los Guzmanes and the Casa Botines, designed by the master Antonio Gaudí, stand out.
The city also has an exquisite gastronomy, especially its sausages. It is impossible to miss the Botillo del Bierzo or the cecina, black pudding and chorizo from León. Succulent are the Maragato stew, the trout soup and its wines with denomination of origin: Bierzo and Tierras de León. The sweeter ones may opt for the mantecadas de Astorga, the nicanores de Boñar and the rosquillas de San Froilán.

Get to know León

León is one of the most beautiful cities in Spain, as is its province. If you have time, get lost in the geography of León. If not, at least try to visit the following towns:

Astorga

The AP-71 connects in about 50 kilometers the capital with Astorga, one of the cities with more history of the province. It was founded as a Roman military camp at the end of the 1st century B.C. under the name of Asturica Augusta. From this period it is still possible to visit the thermal baths, the forum and the wall. Do not leave Astorga without visiting the Cathedral of Santa María, the Episcopal Palace and the City Hall.

Castrillo de los Polvazares

Follow the same route. Once in Astorga, link with the LE-142 to enter this peculiar municipality populated by 81 neighbors. This small village is preserved as it was built, with cobbled streets and stone facades. It was declared a Historic-Artistic Site in 1980.

Villafranca del Bierzo

Continuing another 25 kilometers along the A-6 we arrive at Villafranca del Bierzo, one of the few municipalities in León where Galician is still spoken. The town, inhabited by about 3,150 villafranquinos, is located at the confluence of the Burbia and Valcarce rivers. Enjoy its gastronomy while visiting the Santa Iglesia Colegiata de Santa María de Cluny, the Church of San Nicolás el Real, the Monastery of San Francisco de Asís and the Castle of the Counts of Peña Ramiro.
