    León is a city of great historical value and has numerous places to visit, such as the Cathedral of Santa Maria, the Monastery of San Marco, the Casa Botines and the Church of the Real Colegiata de San Isidoro, known as the Sistine Chapel of the Spanish Romanesque age.

    Another thing you have to do before you leave the city is wander through the streets of its old town, known as the Barrio Húmedo. On these streets, you will find a large number of bars and restaurants that serve free tapas with each consumption.

    The Jewish Quarter and the Romantic Quarter are also highly recommended, but to discover in depth the city, you will need to spend two days in León. If you would like to add an additional night to your trip, please contact us.

    On the other hand, if five days on the Camino de Santiago seems little to you, do not hesitate to contact us to add to your trip some stages of the stretch that joins León with Ponferrada.
