The Town
Discover León
Leon, the ancient capital of the Kingdom and one of the most significant cities in the Iberian Peninsula, presents itself as an indispensable and breathtaking stop on the Camino Francés. Its main treasure is the Cathedral of Saint Mary of Regla, known as "The Lovely Leonine", a masterpiece of Gothic architecture whose spectacular stained glass floods the interior with magical light, creating a celestial atmosphere that moves every pilgrim. No less important is the Basilica of St. Isidore, which houses the Royal Pantheon, considered the "Sixth Century Chapel of Romanesque" due to its exceptionally well-preserved frescoes. For a deserved rest, the Wet Quarter is the perfect place, a lively street maze where the tradition of eating is a delight for the senses. Works such as Gaudí's Casa Botines complete an unmatched heritage. For the pilgrim, Leon is a cultural and service oasis, with excellent hostels and hospitality that invites you to stay. It is a key point to recharge before facing the Mountains of León, the last major mountain challenge before Galicia.
