Top 50 things to do and attractions in Leon

Visited the outside of the Basilicia de San Isidoro, which was illuminated at night. What a site! When time permits, will return to visit the inside.

Disappointed because you aren't allowed to take any pictures inside for some reason. Not a church really, it's more of a museum with some interesting items, but few stand out. The description of what the called the Holy Grail has been changed to the cup of Dona Urraca The best part was the mausoleum of the Kings of León

We booked the 5:00pm English tour (about 45 min) through the monastery & museum. The frescoes are stunning and the museum small but with beautiful exhibits. Incredible library and song books. Our guide was easy to understand and gave us great information on the contents of the museum. Not one second of time wasted. So glad we booked the tour, it was well worth the small fee. What would make this a 5* experience for sure is if we could have taken photos. The frescoes and artifacts are stunning but hard to hold in our memories without photos. Photos are allowed in the cloister only.

Am starting to feel Spanish after many Spanish masses and benedictions. Beautiful church, with kind priests. We were able to receive a pilgrim's blessing and some song after mass had ended. Thank you!

So gorgeous and lovely. Really enjoyed it there was a pamphlet to follow along in English

Beautiful, more than 1000 years old church in unbelievably good condition. It has seat-heating as well, so you can enjoy it comfortably even during the chilly Leon winters.

Although it has to play second fiddle to the Cathedral it is a beautiful church in it's own right. Situated in an exquisite square on the Camino route out of Leon it is well worth a visit.

Worth the tour We enjoyed a free entrance on Saturday to both the Iglesia the museum but also to cloister

Amazing! I found it as beautiful if not even more impressive than León Cathedral. Go to the rooms beyond the church main room. It is spectacular. Friendly staff, great atmosphere.

Lovely place to visit. I initially thought that was an entrance fee for it but it is free. Don’t miss the cloister, very beautiful! Definitely worth the visit. Make sure you check hours as they close on the afternoons.

Large open plaza with fountains set in the ground. A lovely place to sit near the river surrounded by some very old and historic building. Entrance fee charged to go in the museum (of Leon)

It's a part of the museum of León and the entrance is free. Convent was built in XVI century. Museum's part has a lot of objects of middle age and baroque. And another part is a hotel now.

The renovation of the building is more than you can expect. It includes a Museo de León exhibition in religious topics. The Iglesia is on the Way of Santiago (El Camino), so you can wonder the building in any time. Perfect place with the amazing and great square to have a rest and get dozens of experiences about León and its past and present.

Impressive building with great detail of work out in to arches, doors and borders of facade, must visit inside of the convent as it's not only free but also give you highlights of 3rd century old Stones and tombs.

If you’re a Gaudí lover, don’t miss Casa Botines in León! I visited it today and was so pleased. The audio guide unveils so many fascinating details about the house, Gaudí’s life, and the hidden symbolism woven into the building’s design. The beautifully reconstructed rooms offer a glimpse into how the spaces would have looked in Gaudí’s time. A section allows to delve into Gaudí’s creative mind, his deep connection to nature, geometry, and meaning, making the experience even more special. On the third floor, a rich art collection awaits, with highlights being Dalí’s Divine Comedy illustrations and Goya’s Caprichos. An inspiring and beautifully curated visit, highly recommended to anyone intrigued by Gaudí’s world beyond Barcelona!

Lovely Gaudi building. The building process documented on interesting display boards in Spanish and English. The highlight for us was the Goya etchings, the Los Caprichos, on the 3rd floor. A look into the mind of a genius artist.

One of only three Gaudi buildings outside of Barcelona, Casa Botines is perhaps Gaudi's most conservative structure. That said it is still wild in its irregular beauty.

The building is very nice, but the museum part is very plain. Maybe it is because I am a foreigner, but I couldn't watch and analyze too long some modern arts and old house parts, just like the bathroom. There are 3 levels, and there are rooms where just posters about the architecture and methods. I don't regret this 9 euro, but I thought it would be something amazing (according to the lot of good reviews).

Great modernist building in Leon 🔝 Casa Botines is one of the three projects outside Barcelona by Antoni Gaudi. When in Leon don’t miss it ! Highly recommended ! Camino de Santiago ( 21 apr - day 18 ) Visited April 2025

Casa Botines is a must-visit landmark in León, especially for those interested in architecture, history, or the works of Antoni Gaudí. One of only a few Gaudí buildings located outside of Catalonia, Casa Botines stands out with its neo-Gothic façade, pointed towers, and striking stonework—resembling more a medieval castle than a city building. The museum inside offers a well-curated experience that combines art, architecture, and history. Visitors can learn about Gaudí’s vision, the building’s origins as a textile warehouse and bank, and its later restoration. The exhibition includes original sketches, furniture, and informative displays in both Spanish and English, making it accessible to international visitors. There are also temporary exhibitions and a small but interesting art collection on the upper floors. A highlight is the chance to see some of the original architectural elements up close, as well as the preserved office spaces that transport you back in time. The building is also beautifully lit in the evening and worth viewing from the outside, even after hours. Casa Botines isn’t just for architecture enthusiasts—it’s a key piece of León’s cultural heritage and a great stop for anyone wanting to appreciate Gaudí’s lesser-known but equally impressive work.

Stunning building by Gaudi, it’s not as decorated as those building in Barcelona, with those details display in English as well, help us to be more enjoyable to know about stories behind this place!

The Leon Cathedral is a tremendous landmark that helps take Camino de Santiago pilgrims back in time to imagine what the area would have been like 800 years ago when this cathedral was built. The area around the cathedral is spacious and offers a sense of relaxation while having coffee or a meal .

The cathedral is so beautiful The visit is nice and it is worth the price The audio guide is clearly not good enough. It is only 5 very long recording. Would be good to inspire from Oviedo

Fabulous church inside and out. Stained glass windows and vaulted ceilings are amazing. Tickets are not cheap but do not mind paying as it goes to the upkeep of this amazing cathedral. Loved that we take photos of the inside to keep our memories fresh of the glorious interior. No restrooms available.

Wow, wow, wow. The stained glass and scale is striking. I'm not sure we could build this now. There is no reduced entrance for pilgrims, which is unusual, but the visit worth the €7. The audio-tour was cool as well. Just the right amount of detail and explanation of points of interest for my sore feet.

Breathtakingly beautiful! Around £5 to get in, which I think is a steal!!! There is a little cafe on the corner to the right which has the loveliest staff! Go there…. Not the ones opposite the church itself!

Its just Wow! When you are inside that building and you see those stained glass windows… your jaw will drop to the ground!

This is an architectural gem. Well worth visiting. They have audio in several languages and it’s a self guided tour.

Free tours are provided in the morning (short) and afternoon (longer), both in Spanish only. You need to put your name down on a piece of paper at 10am in the moring if you want to join the free tour. I don't really understand Spanish but it was nice to be able to walk around inside this former palace.

Why pretend not to speak English when your job is to represent your city to visitors? I just don't get that mentality. Upon arrival at the Palacio de los Guzmanes we were directed to a room where a woman was organising tours. I addressed the woman in Spanish and asked if she spoke English. She replied in Spanish 'the visit is in Spanish only'. I have never studied Spanish and do not claim to speak the language but I speak Italian and French and thanks to that could grasp what she was saying. I nodded and said that it was ok, we would join the tour anyway. She noted down our names and confirmed the time and place where the tour began, still in Spanish. When the tour began, I noted that she spoke in fluent English, but really good English, to a Dutch couple. Why do that, why make out you don't speak a language when you do? Surely the aim is to showcase your city and your country to visitors? Surely the fact that you speak fluent English is an asset? With a dozen or so visitors, the tour began. There were five English speakers (the Dutch couple, my wife, my son and I) and a family who originated from Southern China (my wife is Chinese and noted that they spoke Chinese), plus four Spanish people. OK, we are in Spain and the tour is in Spanish, but with half of the group speaking no Spanish, and non Spanish speakers making up more than half of the group, why not make a bit of an effort? Perhaps a short summary in English would have been enough to satisfy everyone? The result was that the Dutch couple left bored halfway through the tour, my son and I double guessed via French and Italian translating to my wife, the Chinese family concentrated on taking photos, and two Spanish couples chatted with the guide. Great result for the city of Leon.

When I visited they said you can’t tour by yourself. I can only understand a bit of Spanish and apparently according to reviews, the tour groups are only in Spanish. It’s much more efficient if you can view it by yourself without being locked in a tour group that you can’t even understand. Furthermore, the fact that a tour group exists means León recognizes this is a tourist spot; either give the non-Spanish speakers freedom to explore the place (>15 minutes) or give them an English tour.

Tour only in Spanish and the lady who gave the tour seemed to have some English but we were left sittin and standing in the courtyard and the government chamber like dummies. Pity we wasted our time. I googled the basics about the place while sitting there. Bored and frustrated.

Very nice place for a quick visit The guided tour is very cheap and totally worth it, they show you the main room upstairs which is very beautiful The best thing about this tour is the lovely lady who was giving the tour when we went, she gave a lot of very cool facts and told us many things about the place, Leon, and in general anything related that you might ask her and more. Highly recommended guided visit tour

Guided tour only in Spanish... I wish this was made clear before we bought tickets at the machine which gave information in several different languages! 5 minutes would have been enough looking around but we were locked in for an hour!

The tour is quite boring. Not much to see, a lot of explanations.

This is an excellent FREE museum. It is well curated and follows the history of the area around Leon from prehistory to modern times. Make sure to go up and down the correct stairs to follow the history in order. The displays were very nice with many surprising artifacts. Description boards in Spanish and English. There are lockers at the entrance for bags. Kind people at reception.

Great items, I always am amazed by the quality of objects in regional Spanish museums. They have a rich history.

For €1, this is a must see for anyone into history. I especially enjoyed the sections on the Roman and prehistorical periods. The staff were extremely kind.

Nice museum, Leon was an important roman town, there are many objects of daily life, war weapons.Another part of the museum is dedicated to paintings.It is worth to visit.

This is a medium sized museum spread over three floors. There are some English descriptions provided. When I visited there a temporary exhibit of coins was on display. There is a good collection of Roman tomb stones on display in the basement, which I found quite interseting. Worth a visit.

Employees are very rude. At 1:30pm they begin following you around as if you are a criminal. Actually they want you out by 1:45 so they can close at 2pm. They turn off all the lights even if you are in an exhibit making it very unsafe and dangerous for the individual left in that room. Exhibits are incredible but workers should be ashamed of themselves. Their time is clearly more important than the safety of their patrons or the masterpieces they work to show the world.

The displays are interesting and beautiful (-:

A relatively small museum which nonetheless has very well selected and engaging expositions. The short film by Markus Muntean & Adi Rosenblum was very powerful & beautiful. It's not open on Monday.

great venue for contemporary art, I like the selection, it is so well balanced in all disciplines of the visual arts. From photography , sound , spatial instalation , painting, video , to contemporary "collectible design" (art design ). A must visit cultural spot in Leon.

A large exhibition space showcasing modern art from locally and around the world. It's not very central to León but worth a slight walk and only standard 3€ entry.

Really interesting selection of International artists, curated to relate to the local resident community and visitors alike … I particularly enjoyed the exhibition Concretos modernist architectural design era themed exploration of the material and its ideological and material impact …

As often the case , the building is more inspiring than exhibition/artists. For only €3 pp it is worthwhile to explore the building.

The building is somewhat more impressive than the exhibits in my opinion. There wasn’t a lot of decent art - lots of self-absorbed artists and their pretty average fare

Beautiful building in a fantastic and historic city

If you enjoy history and historical artifacts very recomendable. Si few of these museums actually have the original furniture and artifacts. With reading a little bit about the history of the original owners before you go, but not essential

(Translated by Google) A great museum, with an exceptional and fascinating guide. We discover a superb house in its original state. A must do. (Original) Un super musée, avec un guide exceptionnel et passionnant. On y découvre une superbe maison dans son jus. À faire absolument.

(Translated by Google) I really enjoyed the visit; in fact, I've been twice already. But I do wish I could spend more time looking at the display cases containing books, documents, and other interesting objects. Since it's always a guided tour, there's never enough time to properly explore those areas. (Original) Me ha gustado mucho la visita, de hecho ya he ido dos veces. Pero echo en falta poder detenerme más tiempo en las vitrinas que contienen libros, documentos y objetos interesantes. Al ser siempre con visita guiada no hay tiempo para observar bien esas zonas.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent museum!!! Alvaro was an excellent guide, demonstrating his knowledge. During the tour, you're transported back in time by the sheer number of artifacts preserved. Thank you so much for the hospitality. (Original) Magnífico museo!!!. Alvaro ha sido un excelente guía demostrando su conocimiento. Durante el recorrido te trasladas a aquella época por la cantidad de objetos que conservan. Muchísimas gracias por el trato.

(Translated by Google) I have attended this museum as a Pedagogy student under the recommendation of a teacher, and without a doubt, it has been a very good idea. I recommend the visit to all audiences, since it is not only interesting, but also allows you to understand the historical context of the Pedagogy that was defended. All this, without a doubt, thanks to the perfect explanation. (Original) He asistido a este museo como estudiante de Pedagogía bajo recomendación de una profesora, y sin duda, ha sido una muy buena idea. Recomiendo la visita a todos los públicos, ya que no solo es interesante, sino que también permite comprender el contexto histórico de la Pedagogía que se defendía. Todo ello, sin duda, gracias a la perfecta explicación.

(Translated by Google) It's impressive what this man brought to Spain. Every visit to León requires a visit to this museum from the period. I loved it. The maximum number of visits is 12. I recommend getting tickets the day before, otherwise you won't see it. The way this man set up the house is impressive. (Original) Impresionante lo que está hombre trajo a España, toda visita a León es obligatorio entrar en esta cada museo de la época. Me has encantado. Visitas máximo 12 personas, recomiendo coger las entradas el día anterior, sino no la ves. Lo de impresionante como monto este señor la casa.

(Translated by Google) We entered the Cossio Room. This space is free to visit. It's a fascinating attraction for lovers of education and history. Some objects are surprising, but above all, the history of educational values. (Original) Accedimos a la sala Cossio. Es gratuita la visita a este espacio. Curioso para los amantes de la educación y la historia. Sorprenden algunos objetos pero sobre todo la historia de valores educativos

I was married there......

(Translated by Google) Of simple architecture, it houses within it several works of great interest, among which stand out its large altarpiece, of Churrigueresque style, and a carving of Jesus Christ on the Cross, the work of Gregorio Fernández. It can be visited free of charge. (Original) De arquitectura sencilla, alberga en su interior varias obras de gran interés, entre las que destacan su retablo mayor, de estilo churrigueresco, y una talla de Jesucristo en la Cruz, obra de Gregorio Fernández. Se puede visitar de manera gratuita.

(Translated by Google) Church dedicated to San Marcelo in the city center and very close to emblematic buildings of León (Original) Iglesia dedicadas a San Marcelo en el centro de la ciudad y muy poca distancia de edificios emblemáticos de León

(Translated by Google) Small church,of basilical plant where the Lion pattern is found. It features in its interior the major altarpiece of churrigueresque style and different works by the sculptor Gregorio Fernández,among which features the Christ of Balderas (Original) Pequeña iglesia,de planta basilical donde se encuentra el patrón de León. Destaca en su interior el retablo mayor de estilo churrigueresco y diferentes obras del escultor Gregorio Fernández,entre los que destaca el Cristo de Balderas

(Translated by Google) As soon as you cross the threshold of this parish dedicated to Saint Marcellus you can perceive in a very palpable way that one has just crossed the doors of a sacred temple. Despite being in the heart of León, a sacred silence reigns that permeates everything with a subtle invitation to gather in contemplative prayer. To the left of the main altar is a beautiful image of Saint Martha, who always remembers what is important in the present moment. To the right of the altar, we find a representation of Our Lady of Mount Carmel that leads to the chapel where the impressive image of the Santo Cristo de la Agonía is located. It is impossible not to stop at the feet of the Lord and deeply thank his Passion, Holy Death and Resurrection. It is difficult not to surrender to the invisible invitation to meditate each season of the Passion in this prayer corner. In this sacred place, the hours pass as if they were minutes. It is as if time stopped in an eternal present where the healing force of the here and now is perceived. The living presence of Love permeates every corner of this parish and it is very easy to feel the healing of the Soul as inspiration after inspiration occurs. What a delight!! If you are looking for a time of true encounter with the force of silence, you cannot miss entering here. 💯Recommended (Original) Nada más cruzar el umbral de esta parroquia dedicada al Santo Marcelo se puede percibir de manera muy palpable que uno acaba de atravesar las puertas de un templo sagrado. A pesar de encontrarse en pleno centro de León, reina un silencio sacro que impregna todo de una sutil invitación a recogerse en oración contemplativa. A la izquierda del altar mayor se encuentra una bella imagen de Santa Marta, que recuerda siempre lo que es importante en el momento presente. A la derecha del altar, encontramos una representación de Nuestra Señora del Carmen que da paso a la capilla donde se encuentra la imagen impresionante del Santo Cristo de la Agonía. Es imposible no detenerse a los pies del Señor y agradecer profundamente su Pasión, Santa Muerte y Resurrección. Es difícil no rendirse a la invitación invisible para meditar cada estación de la Pasión en este rincón de oración. En este Sagrado lugar, corren las horas como si fuesen minutos. Es como si el tiempo se detuviera en un eterno presente donde se percibe la fuerza sanadora del aquí y el ahora. La presencia viva del Amor impregna cada rincón de esta parroquia y es muy fácil sentir la curación del Alma como se va produciendo inspiración tras inspiración. Que delicia!! Si buscas un rato de encuentro verdadero con la fuerza del silencio no puedes perderte el entrar aquí. 💯Recomendable

Woah, Leon history is Iberia's history! It was so interesting! And the guide was the best guide we ever had, she had 0 problems explaining further when we asked. Outstanding!

My two stars come from the fact that we were not informed the main exhibition was under maintenance. It would've been nice to know this and ponder whether we wanted to visit it or not. The second thing is that visitors are not allowed to take pictures inside.

There is no admission charge and they have a free tour that lasts about 45 minutes. I would suggest taking this tour if you have an excellent command of the Spanish language, and you are extremely interested in the subject matter.

Amazing (free) tour with María! She explained everything in an interesting way and even helped clarify some things in English for me. Highly recommend. Urraca forever! The gentleman at the desk was also super friendly but I didn’t catch his name.

It was interesting but not a lot to see in comparison to the museum of Leon, although the descriptions were all in Spanish.

Nice,exhibitionisme about the kingdom of Leon starting from the middle ages

Nice things to see but only spanish

Beautiful place! I honestly was not expecting it. And the performances we saw were great!

Amazing place. Finally a theatre where artists and performers have a proper space to prepare, organize and settle in the changing rooms before the shows. Lots of room even for big groups. Stage is also a good size and in good conditions. Surrounding area is nice and well kept, not dangerous even later at night.

No ok

great architecture

(Translated by Google) I loved it, a very comfortable city to visit, easy access to all places by public transport. (Original) Me encanto, una ciudad muy cómoda para visitar , a todos los sitios andando transporte público con mucha fluencia .

(Translated by Google) I like it a lot. I always go whenever there is a classical music concert or event, ballet, etc., and the acoustics are wonderful, as is the view from the stalls or boxes. (Original) Me gusta muchísimo .voy siempre que hay algún concierto de música clásica o evento ,ballet .Etc y la acústica es maravillosa así como la vista desde la Platea o palcos.

(Translated by Google) A great place for any show and great acoustics. I've been there many times. Today we had to see #SwanLake #SPECTACULAR,BEAUTIFUL….100% recommended. Just one minor detail: some of the girls, about three or four of them, were excessively thin… A very beautiful evening. 🪐💫 (Original) Buen sitio para cualquier espectáculos y buena acústica,e ido muchas veces. Hoy tocaba ver #el lago de los cisnes # ESPECTACULAR,PRECIOSO….100% recomendable.Solo un detalle algunas de las chicas asi como tres,cuatro estaban excesivamente delgadas…Una noche muy bonita.🪐💫

Set behind the Iglesia de Santa Maria del Camino, Plaza del Grano is an open space that is relatively quiet. Nice place to stop.

Lovely, happy entry. Original stone square from when it was a grain market. Several cafes with outside tables, a statue/fountain. It feels like a different city. Nicer than Plaza Mayor. To find it look for Santa Maria del Camino church (our tourist attraction map didn't clearly indicate the plaza). Definitive worth a visit.

Beautiful little space, peaceful and wonderfully faded. Time passing is visible in the stones

A place easily pass as an average plaza / mini park, but don't be fool because is full of history and it's charming will win your envy of loving the idea of residing facing it

Comfortable spot to have a drink under shade

Bella 🥰

Our favorite plaza in Lèon. An ideal and quiet area to relax with a Cerveza or a vino !

-Small museum, super confusing and unclear floor plan. No signs or any instructions which way should I go. - Nothing in English, all texts are in Spanish. - Some artifacts are really good, rest is avarage for such a museum. - Apparently no photo, which is not unacceptable in 2025 for a permanent collection. There is a security camera everywhere, but everyone did make photos so seemed like an outdated rule.

(Translated by Google) I went there as soon as it opened in the morning. I was a visually impaired person and accompanied him, and I showed my documents and got in for free. They responded very kindly, and because the collection was so huge, it took about an hour to even look through it. From ancient relics and dances to modern works, it was a wonderful day in the old church building. Also the staff are very friendly. Photography is not allowed in museums and cathedrals, but photography is permitted in monasteries. (Original) 아침에 오픈하자마자 다녀왔다. 시각장애인과 동반 1인이었고, 서류 보여주고 무료로 입장했다. 아주 친절히 응대해 주었고, 소장품이 어마어마하기때문에 쓱 훑더라도 한시간은 걸리는 양이었다. 고대의 유물 및 작춤들부터 현대에 이르는 작품까지, 고풍스러운 교회 건물에서의 아주 멋진 하루였다. 또한 직원들은 매우 친절하다. 박물관 및 성당은 촬영 불가이고 수도원은 촬영 가능하다

(Translated by Google) Extraordinary content with art from all eras. Distributed over several floors and many rooms, I think that in some cases the organization by periods or styles could be improved, since sometimes you are puzzled by the placement of some pieces among others with which they have no relationship. And an observation that I think is important: in such a large museum, and one that is visited together with the cloister and the cathedral, the issue of toilets must be resolved. It is currently not justifiable to interrupt the visit and go out to find a cafeteria outside. Anyway, essential visit. (Original) Extraordinario contenido con arte de todas las épocas. Distribuido en varias plantas y muchas salas creo que se podría mejorar en algunos casos la ordenación por épocas o estilos, pues a veces quedas desconcertado por la colocación de algunas piezas entre otras con las que no guardan ningún tipo de relación. Y una observación que creo importante: en un museo tan grande, y que se visita conjuntamente con el claustro y la catedral, hay que solucionar el tema de los aseos. No es justificable actualmente que haya que interrumpir la visita y salir a buscar alguna cafetería en el exterior. De todos modos, visita imprescindible.

(Translated by Google) It really was not surprising due to the enormous amount of its content and its incalculable value. They had things from before the Romans and after all the centuries to date, it took us about 5 hours to go through all its instances and the truth is that you cannot miss it. (Original) Realmente no sorprendió por la grandísima cantidad de su contenido y de un valor incalculable. Tenían cosas de antes de los romanos y después de todas los siglos hasta la fecha, nos llevó unas 5 horas recorrer todas sus instancias y la verdad que no se lo pueden perder.

(Translated by Google) An interesting museum and spectacular cloister to visit, the entrance is different from that of the cathedral and, which, it is mandatory to visit, because that is why it is called: "Pulchra Leonina". It is a shame that ordinary pilgrims do not receive a reduction in the price. (Original) Un interesante museo y espectacular claustro para visitar, la entrada es distinta a la de la catedral y, a la cual, es preceptino visitar, pues por ello la llama: "Pulchra Leonina". Es una pena que al peregrino de a pie, no se le haga una reducción en el precio.

(Translated by Google) Today, it constitutes a unique collection of its kind, housing pieces from all periods of art history, from prehistory to the 20th century, all spread across seventeen rooms, in the vicinity of the cathedral cloister. It is entered through a beautiful walnut door, which, according to Professor Merino Rubio, was made for the library by Juan de Quirós before 1513. Its tympanum depicts the fully Flemish scene of the Annunciation, set against a space with Gothic arches. In the first room, we see the Plateresque staircase by Juan de Badajoz the Younger, which facilitated access to the chapter house. It is comparable to the one built by Diego de Covarrubias in the Palace of Santa Cruz in Toledo. The support of its three levels is profusely decorated with fine work of bueraneo, candelieri, medallions, and other themes from the finest Renaissance. The pretext for placing the coat of arms of the patron bishop, Pedro Manuel, on the small platform that stands out above the balustrade was sought. Adoration of the Magi, by Pedro de Campaña. Several works are displayed in this frame formed by the stairwell. These include two beautiful 14th-century Calvaries, carved in wood with traces of polychrome; the larger one, from Gusendos de los Oteros, has suffered several mutilations due to having been buried for centuries beneath the presbytery of the church, and the other, more stylized, belonged to the pre-Romanesque church of San Adrián; a 14th-century polychrome stone statue of the Virgin and Child, known as the "Old Virgin of Dado"; a transitional crucifix from Grajal de Campos from the beginning of the same century; two late Gothic panels with apostles from Tomeros, and six oil paintings from the last third of the 16th century, belonging to the lost altarpiece from Fuentes de Carbajal, with scenes from the infancy and passion of Christ. The museum houses a 13th-century ivory Christ, some sculptures by Juan de Juni and his disciples, a 16th-century missal, and several liturgical ornaments from the same period. The library houses several Visigothic manuscripts and a copy of the Lex Romana Visigothorum. (Original) En la actualidad constituye un conjunto único en su género, albergando piezas de todas las etapas de la historia del arte, desde la prehistoria hasta el siglo XX, todas ellas repartidas en diecisiete salas, en el entorno del claustro catedralicio. Se accede a él por una hermosa puerta de nogal, que según el profesor Merino Rubio, había sido hecha para la librería por Juan de Quirós, antes del año 1513; en su tímpano se narra la escena de la Anunciación, plenamente flamenca, sobre un espacio con arquerías góticas. En la primera estancia se nos muestra la escalera plateresca de Juan de Badajoz el Mozo, que facilitaba la subida a la sala capitular. Nada tiene que envidiar a la construida por Diego de Covarrubias en el Palacio de Santa Cruz de Toledo. El soporte de sus tres cuerpos está profusamente decorado con labores menudas de bueráneos, "candelieri", medallones y otros temas del mejor Renacimiento. Se buscó como pretexto para colocar el escudo del obispo mecenas, Pedro Manuel, la pequeña tribuna que resalta sobre la balaustrada. Adoración de los Reyes Magos, de Pedro de Campaña. Son varias las obras expuestas en este marco configurado por la caja de la escalera. Así, dos hermosos calvarios del siglo XIV, tallados en madera con restos de policromía; el de mayor tamaño, procedente de Gusendos de los Oteros, sufre varias mutilaciones, por haber permanecido enterrado durante siglos debajo del presbiterio del templo y el otro, más estilizado, perteneció a la iglesia prerrománica de san Adrián; una imagen de la Virgen con el Niño, en piedra policromada del siglo XIV, conocida con el nombre de la "Virgen del Dado antigua"; un crucificado de transición procedente de Grajal de Campos de principios del mismo siglo; dos tablas tardogóticas, con apóstoles, procedentes de Tomeros, y seis pinturas al óleo, del último tercio del siglo xvi, pertenecientes al desaparecido retablo de Fuentes de Carbajal, con escenas de la infancia y de la pasión de Cristo. En el museo se conserva un Cristo de marfil de siglo XIII, algunas esculturas de Juan de Juni y sus discípulos, un misal del siglo XVI y varios ornamentos litúrgicos de la misma época. En la biblioteca hay varios manuscritos visigodos y un ejemplar de la Lex Romana Visigothorum.

(Translated by Google) You can visit the Cloister and at the same time you can see different works. There's even a little game within investigation. You can also see the statues that should be on the façade of the cathedral but for one reason or another they are there and not on the façade. The good thing is that it is next to the cathedral and if you buy the joint ticket it is cheaper. It is a mandatory visit if you pass through Leon. (Original) Puedes visitar el Claustro y a la vez puedes ver distintas obras. Incluso hay un pequeño juego dentro de investigación. También puedes ver las estatuas que tendrían que estar en la fachada de la catedral pero por unas causas u otras están allí y no en la fachada. Lo bueno es que esta al lado de la catedral y si compras la entrada conjunta te sale mas barato. Es una visita obligatoria si pasas por Leon.

We wandered into a celebration of Leonese culture!

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful church located in a pleasant and pedestrian environment. Large and well-preserved building. Now it is the Mercado church because it is located in the Plaza del Grano at the back. (Original) Iglesia muy bonita y situada en un entorno agradable y peatonal. Edificio amplio y bien conservado. Ahora es la iglesia del Mercado por qué se ubica en la plaza del Grano por su parte trasera.

(Translated by Google) It has a basilica plan with three naves and no transept, it is known as the market because it is located in the square where grain was traded, but its true name is from the road since the Jacobean route runs along its façade. It dates back to the 12th century and has undergone countless renovations and different architectural styles. Inside the image of the Virgin of the Camino is venerated. (Original) Es de planta basilical de tres naves y sin crucero, se la conoce como del mercado porque está situada en la plaza donde se comerciaba con el grano, pero si verdadero nombre es del camino ya que por su fachada discurre la ruta jacobea. Data del siglo XII y ha sufrido innumerables reformas y diferentes estilos arquitectónicos. En su interior se venera la imagen de la Virgen del Camino.

(Translated by Google) Adding one night in ‘Leon’ on the 28th day of the pilgrimage. I found this cathedral while looking around the city and entered it. It is said to have been built in the 12th century. It is a historical building that looks old even at first glance. It seems. The top of the main tower is made of a mixture of stone and brick. What was built has stood the test of time and is now new. It appears to have been repaired. As expected, we meet on the pilgrimage route. I consider it an honor. (Original) 순례길 28일차에 'Leon'에서 1박을 더하면서 시내를 돌아보다 발견하고 들어간 성당이다. 12세기에 건축되어졌다고 하는데 외관으로 보아도 오래되어 보이는 역사적인 건물로 보인다. 주탑 꼭대기는 돌과 벽돌로 혼합되어 건축되어진 것이 오랜세월 견디어 오다 새로 보수된것으로 보인다. 역시나 순례길에 만나는 영광으로 생각한다.

(Translated by Google) The Church of Our Lady of the Market is located in the historic center of León. Its oldest part is in Romanesque style from the 12th century. The Camino de Santiago passes in front of its facade. It has a basilica plan with three naves without a sarcophagus-type transept because it narrows from head to foot. They were celebrating the Eucharist. (Original) La Iglesia de Ntra Sra del Mercado se encuentra en el casco histórico de León. Su parte más antigua es de estilo románico del siglo XII. El Camino de Santiago pasa delante de su fachada. De planta basilical de tres naves sin crucero de tipo sarcófago por estrecharse de cabecera a pies. Estaban celebrando la Eucaristía.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church with free access. It is very pretty on the outside, from the square it has a very good view. Inside it is not very spectacular, but it is worth visiting. It also has the ship from the Battle of Lepanto at the entrance. (Original) Bonia iglesia de acceso gratuito. Es muy bonita por fuera desde la plaza tiene una muy buena vista. Por dentro no es muy espectacular, pero merece la pena visitar. Además tiene el barco de la batalla de lepanto en la entrada.

(Translated by Google) The church is the first in Leon! It is located in the historic center and is always open to visit! Maybe it's not necessary, but if a priest is around, he'll show it to you without a word and tell you the story if you're interested. Apart from that, it has a very gothic decoration and several not too big monuments to see and stay with your mouth open. (Original) la iglesia es la primera de leon! se encuentra en el casco histórico y siempre está abierta para poder visitarla! no hace falta quizá pero si está por ahí algún cura te lo muestra sin prímela y te cuenta la historia si te interesa. aparte por tendré tiene una decoración muy gótica y varios monumentos no mis grandes para ver y quedarse con la boca abierta

(Translated by Google) We really entered by chance and our mouths were open. Never in our lives had we seen a pharmacy with this luxury in the wood and it is sure to be 19 simply when entering and when leaving since you enter from different places, the marquetry is wonderful, and They look at the ceiling and it's enough to lose their minds apart from the counter and everything it contains is from another century. I advise you to go buy anything just to see the store since I'm sure you'll love it like we do. (Original) Realmente entramos por casualidad y quedamos con la boca abierta nunca en nuestra vida habíamos visto una farmacia con este lujo en las maderas y que seguro que es de 19 simplemente al entrar como al salir ya que se entra por diferentes sitios la marquetería es maravillosa, y se miran para el techo y ya es para perder la cabeza aparte del mostrador y todo lo que contiene es de otro siglo, aconsejo ir a comprar cualquier cosita con tal de ver la tienda ya que seguro que les encantará como a nosotros

(Translated by Google) The doctor was very kind and friendly. I suspected pneumonia, and he reassured me and gave me good advice. The pharmacy is also very well stocked, centrally located, and beautiful, with original 19th-century ceilings and furnishings. It feels like a museum! (Original) Dottore molto gentile e cordiale, sospettavo una polmonite e mi ha rassicurata e consigliata bene. Inoltre la farmacia è super ben fornita oltre che centralissima e meravigliosa, con soffitti e oggettistica originali del 19° secolo, sembra un museo!

(Translated by Google) Well, I went to get a specific prescription medication that my doctor ordered, and the next afternoon they already had it. I told him I couldn't get in until today, and he very kindly told me not to worry. I told him I'd pay for it now, and he said I'd pay for it when I picked it up. I'll go there today. The service is great, effective, and fast. I'll be going to this pharmacy more often. Thank you. (Original) Pues yo he ido a x un medicamento de formulación específica k me pidió mi médico y al día siguiente x la tarde ya lo tenían le comenté k hasta hoy no podía ir y me contestó muy amable k no me preocupara le dije de pagárselo ya y me dijo k al recogerlo.

(Translated by Google) An excellent pharmacy, located right on Calle Ancha. Founded in 1827, it maintains its original structure, with its attractive shelves full of porcelain jars and the magnificent coffered wooden ceiling. The staff provides excellent service. (Original) Una excelente farmacia, situada en plena calle Ancha. Fundada en 1827, mantiene la estructura original, con sus vistosas estanterías llenas de tarros de porcelana y el magnífico artesonado de madera del techo. Una buena atención del personal.

(Translated by Google) A pharmacy worth seeing. We were watching from outside so as not to disturb them and they invited us to go inside so we could watch as long as we wanted. An open museum and they know how to preserve the essence very well. May it remain much longer (Original) Una farmacia digna de ver. Estuvimos mirando desde fuera para no molestar y nos invitaron a entrar dentro para poder mirar el tiempo que queramos. Un museo abierto y saben conservar muy bien la esencia. Que permanezca mucho mas

(Translated by Google) They can't even get it straight among themselves. One charges me 30% less because I get the prescription through social security (TSI), and now that they don't, they've always charged me the same. I think I remember exactly what I pay. If I pay €28, I'll pay considerably less. One tells me I can't order a medication, that I have to order at least 3 and leave it in storage for future occasions, and the other tells me no problem, that if I only need one, he'll order it for me right away. Get a little more organized, and all of you say the same thing, because you can't even get it straight. It must be the pharmacies... (Original) No se aclaran ni entre ellos. Uno me cobra un 30% menos porque me entra la receta por la seguridad social (el TSI), y ahora que no, que siempre me han cobrado lo mismo. Creo que me acuerdo bien de lo que pago, vaya. Si pago 28€ o pago bastante menos. Uno me dice que no puedo pedir un medicamento, que tengo que pedir mínimo 3 y dejarlo en el almacén, para futuras ocasiones, y el otro me dice que sin problema, que si sólo necesito uno, me lo pide al momento. Organizaos un poquito más, y decid lo mismo todos, porque ni os aclaráis. Será por farmacias...

(Translated by Google) I went today to get some pills for the severe migraine pain I suffer, which I had already gotten there, and I didn't need a prescription, as my neurologist had told me. Today I was seen by a very unpleasant man with a belly and glasses who didn't seem to know how to answer politely. He told me to get the prescription and speak to my supposed neurologist, making me look like a bit of a liar, it seems. I just have to say that I thought this was the behavior of an unsavory person, especially when it comes to a medication that costs a measly 50 euros and cures a very annoying ailment. (Original) Fui hoy a por unas pastillas por los dolores tan fuertes que sufro de migrañas las cuales ya había cogido allí y no necesitaba receta como tal, como bien me dijo mi neuróloga. Hoy me atendió un señor con barriga y gafas muy desagradable que parece que no sabe contestar con educación diciéndome que fuera a por la receta y que hablara con mi supuesta neuróloga dejándome un tanto de mentirosa al parecer. Solo tengo que decir que me pareció un comportamiento de una persona impresentable más cuando se trata de un medicamento que cuesta un miserable euro cincuenta y que soluciona una dolencia muy molesta.

It was closet, although there was on the door the information that it had to be open. We walked a very long time to come there ..We were very disappointed

(Translated by Google) I loved seeing the work of this contemporary genius. I hope this Foundation is promoted as it deserves. (Original) Me ha encantado ver la obra de este genio contemporáneo. Ojalá se promocione como merece esta Fundacion

(Translated by Google) A small museum with free admission, from 12 to 3:00 p.m. Located in the old town, in the Casona de Villa Pérez, this building houses several works by Vela Zanetti, a distinctive and recognizable artist, and details of his history from the different places where he lived. There were no other exhibitions open to the public at the time, but it was equally interesting. (Original) Pequeño museo con acceso libre y gratuito, de 12 a 15:00 horas. Ubicado en el casco antiguo, en la Casona de Villa Pérez, este edificio alberga varias obras de un autor tan característico y reconocible como Vela Zanetti, y parte de su historia por los diferentes lugares donde vivió. Actualmente no había otras exposiciones abiertas al público, pero fue igualmente interesante.

(Translated by Google) The museum is full of works by Vela Zanetti, and also has a temporary exhibition that currently has the theme of the war in Ukraine in photography. It has his main works, but others are spread across other museums in the city (Casa Botines, Museu Leon). Free admission.

Little-known museum but highly recommended. (Original) Me ha gustado mucho este museo, la entrada es gratuita y aunque es pequeño es muy recomendable. También tienen exposiciones temporales de otros artistas interesantes. Museo poco conocido pero muy recomendado.

(Translated by Google) One of those places in León that go unnoticed but are well worth a visit. In itself, the square where the museum is located, in the Villaperez corral, is beautiful, but then the museum contains a good collection of paintings by the great painter. (Original) Uno de esos lugares de León que pasan desapercibidos pero que bien merece una visita. Ya de por sí, la plazina donde está el museo, en el corral de Villaperez, es una preciosidad, pero luego el museo contiene una buena colección de cuadros del genial pintor.

(Translated by Google) I rate the website because the foundation has a brief "closed for vacation" sign. (Original) Puntúo a la página web porque en la fundación aparece un escueto cartel de "cerrado por vacaciones"

Very nice park and if you climb on the moutnains than you have an amazing view of the city

So much room and opportunities to do things. One of my favorite parks!!

Peaceful park to roam

Clean but that is all. There is no attraction...some bikers, joggers, and 2 terraces that open only few hours per day

Nice park to go with family, friends, pets or just by yourself and relax, doing exercise, hike, doing a pic nic or just enjoy the nature. Cleaned and accesible.

Magnificent park for walking or cycling or practicing some sports in the middle of nature.

Notable

This is the museum with the magnificent Romanesque fresco - all original dating back to the 11th C. They have free tours on some evenings, which I was lucky enough to be able to join by chance - it was in Spanish but the guide was kind enough to give explanations in English just for me. So why the four stars and not five? Simply because they do not allow photography in the fresco section. I specifically visited Leon to photograph this fresco so I was very disappointed that it wasn't made clear on their website that this is the case. May be they did mention it in Spanish. It is definitely worth a visit, even just to look at the fresco.

Some interesting sights but it didnt float my boat hugely. [Maybe in part because the previous day we visited the collection a the cathedral, which was very striking.] Limited photography (even without flash). I can understand them not wanting the valuable precious metal and jeweled treasures being photographed, but the restrictions sem unduly onerous.

Beautiful Romanesque frescoes, they call it the Sistine of Spain

Fascinating place with excellent information.

(Translated by Google) One of the places I wanted to visit in León. The Sistine Chapel of León is essential, fantastic. Seeing and being in a place with so much history leaves you stunned, I haven't stopped enjoying those frescoes. (Original) Uno de los lugares que quería visitar en León. Imprescindible, fantástico la capilla sixtina de León. Ver y estar en un sitio con tanta historia te deja anonadado, no he parado de disfrutar de esos frescos.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful. It is located to the right of the Church of San Isidoro. There are guided tours, although you can also enter on your own. (Original) Muy bonito. Está situado a la derecha de la Iglesia de san Isidoro. Hay visitas guiadas, aunque también se puede entrar por libre

(Translated by Google) A must-see in León. One of those places that surprises and fascinates you. (Original) Visita obligada en León. De esos sitios que te sorprenden y fascinan.

Small museum just inside city walls full of archeology & artefacts of Roman Leon, some great manuscripts & lovely embroidered banners. A must-see for information about Roman history of Leon & its free. Limited parking, toilets, information sheet in different languages, excellent experience

A hidden gem in the city centre of Leon. I got a recommendation to visit it by a tour guide who was off duty nearby. I am so glad she talked to me because my trip was short and I did not hear about this museum. It definitely worths a visit to go to the garden, walls and learn about Leon.

Highly recomend this place, its very informative and its completely free. If you like Roman history you must visit.

Terrific free museum showing the history Roman (and post-Roman) Leon.

It is a very small museum (€1 entrance fee). Not much actual Roman objects on display but you get to walk on a section of the Roman wall. Not really worth visiting if you are short of time or not interested in Roman history. There are no English descriptions provided.

Interesting free museum. Handy to visit on a rainy Sunday.

Nice and loads to look at.

As someone interested in engineering, this was right up my street but it's also an excellent history lesson of how the area was shaped by mining and economic development. Very friendly staff. Thanks!

A nice museum in a previous powerplant de interior is 90 % complete which is a unicum. The restaurant is in a building where the first powerplant was but the machines are gone 😢 except for a portal crane.

Very good Museum!

Good place to learn more about the history of the Spanish Minery

Very well preserved old power station, really interesting to look at even if you aren't interested in the history of power generation.

(Translated by Google) Former Ponferrada Thermal Power Plant. Without a doubt, an authentic thermal power plant 😳🤩 that can be visited in its original state when it was closed. You can see the boiler room, turbine hall, the dock where the coal was distributed 😊, and much, much more. There are also screens along the way where the various employees 👨🏻‍💼👩🏻‍💼👩🏻‍🔬 talk about their daily life at the factory. A lovely visit. 👏👏👏👏 Admission price: €3 Guided tour: €5 (Original) Antigua Central Térmica de Ponferrada . Sin duda una autentica central térmica 😳🤩que se visita en el estado que quedó cuando está cerro. Se pueden ver la sala de calderas ,Nave de turbinas,el muelle donde se distribuía el carbón 😊 y mucho mucho más. Además hay pantallas a lo largo del recorrido donde sus diferentes empleados 👨🏻‍💼👩🏻‍💼👩🏻‍🔬hablan de su día a día en la fábrica . Preciosa visita.👏👏👏👏 Precio entrada 3 € Visita guiada 5€

(Translated by Google) I highly recommend the Luz Factory Museum in Ponferrada. It's an immersive museum where, along the way, you can see testimonies from people who worked in that same factory. You also hear the different sounds that would be heard if the factory were still active. It's not a boring museum at all; it's very entertaining and highly recommended for children. (Original) Muy recomendable el museo de la fábrica de la Luz en Ponferrada. Es un museo inmersivo donde a lo largo del recorrido puedes ir viendo testimonios de gente que ha estado trabajando en esa misma fábrica, también vas escuchando los distintos sonidos que sonarian si la fábrica siguiese activa. Para nada es un museo aburrido, es muy entretenido y muy recomendable para ir con niños.

The park is very pleasant, quite small but for 8 euros per person it is worth it. There are 4 slides and 2 pools. There is a large resting area and Zipline that the kids really enjoyed. We came on a bad weather so it was cold, otherwise we could have stayed longer. There is a large variety of food and the food was good. All in all we had a lovely experience!

Moderate your expectations then it will be great. Life guards are strict and not all rides were available, but staff were polite and we had fun. No hot water for showers and no mirrors in changing rooms. Good value though!

We had an enjoyable day at this waterpark. It isn't as large as many that I have been to, but it was fine. Maybe the best part was the BBQ meal... You bring the meat they have the rest!

Boys had a good time there. I just missed the café area to be cleaned more often, floor and tables.

A little more expensive than the water park in Valencia Don Juan but the slides are much much better....make sure to try the zip wire!

It's been an amazing day. I highly recommend spending a day there. Thanks to all the staff!

Awesome park

Parque del Cid in a small grass covered park with statues and it has a platform that offers wonderful views of Gaudi’s Casa Botines. One side of the park is lined with an old Roman wall. There are benches to sit in too. Nice place to visit.

Very nice place to seat and read a book

This small park is very central. Located just behind Casa Botines and close to many bars. There are two entrance/ exits, walk ways, some old trees, grass areas, a fountain in the middle, benches and a water suspender. At the back there is a small play ground area for kids containing a see-saw, crocodile and a motorbike-sort of thing. Some of the walk ways are a bit uneven or need repair - keep your eyes open.

It's old full of trees, cozy, cool and shadowy in the scorching summer evenings, right in the centre of town, surrounded by nice bars where you can have a quick bite. I'd say go and enjoy it.

Good place to stay if you have kids,or if you wanna sit alone or relax.Just bring a bottle of water with you.😘

Just a nice shady oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of the area to sit and reflect.

Peace n harmony☮️🔆🐦

Didn't go in myself, although it looked nice. My daughter (8) did an archeological dig activity and absolutely loved it.

(Translated by Google) I have signed up for an Egyptology course for neophytes and it has more than met my expectations.

El taller para niños muy recomendable y la visita a la colección muy entretenida y curiosa gracias a Raúl.

(Translated by Google) We loved it. Different and cozy, ideal to go with family and children. The person responsible for the museum is most attentive, professional and pleasant, he makes the visit to the museum three times better, transmitting his great knowledge and passion about the Egyptian world, is affordable and has children's activities, and also a small display at the entrance, with books and a lot of great souvenir items for the little ones, and with reasonable prices. Due to its location, the parking in the area It is complicated, I recommend taking a walk, an essential visit if you are sightseeing in this beautiful city. (Original) Nos encanto.Diferente y acogedor,ideal para ir en familia y con niños.La persona responsable del museo,es de lo mas atenta,profesional y agradable,hace que la visita al museo sea tres veces mejor,transmitiendo su gran conocimiento y pasion sobre el mundo Egipcio,es asequible y dispone de actividades infantiles,y tambien de un pequeño expositor en la entrada,con libros y un monton de articulos de recuerdo geniales para los peques,y con precios razonables.Por su ubicacion,el aparcamiento en la zona es complicado,recomiendo ir dando un paseo,visita imprescindible si haces turismo en esta bonita ciudad.

(Translated by Google) The exhibition itself is not very big. But it is worth going to see it just to listen to Beatriz with the enthusiasm and passion she has for this culture, as she explains each piece in the museum and her knowledge of this country. Without a doubt if you like Egypt it is a must stop. (Original) La exposición en sí, no es muy grande. Pero merece la pena ir a verlo solo por escuchar a Beatriz con que ilusión y pasión tiene por esta cultura ,al explicar cada pieza del museo y su conocimiento de este país. Sin duda si te gusta Egipto es una parada obligada.

(Translated by Google) We just finished the guided tour and we were delighted to say the least... We loved the collection so much, and Raúl explained it in such a moving way that it rubs off on you. Definitely a highly recommended visit if you're visiting León. Thanks for everything, Raúl, from the couple in Gijón. (Original) Acabamos de salir de la visita guiada y encantados es poco... Nos gustó muchísimo la colección y Raúl lo explica de una manera tan emocionante que te lo acaba contagiando. Sin duda una visita muy recomendable si vais a León. Gracias por todo Raúl, de parte de la pareja de Gijón.

(Translated by Google) A must-see in León, especially if you like or are curious about Egypt and its history. At 12:00, they offer a guided tour, which we definitely recommend. Plus, the guy in charge (I can't remember his name) is super friendly and knows a ton about Egyptology; don't be afraid to ask. They also organize events such as concerts and workshops on Hebrew, hieroglyphics, Egyptian history, and more in the same building, which is also of historical significance. It's 100% worth it. (Original) Visita indispensable que hacer en León, sobretodo si te gusta o causa curiosidad Egipto y su historia. A las 12:00 hacen visita guiada, que recomendamos definitivamente. Además, el chico que lleva todo (no recuerdo el nombre) es súper amable y sabe muchísimo sobre Egiptología, no tengáis ningún miedo a preguntar nada. Organizan también eventos como conciertos y talleres de hebreo, jeroglíficos, historia egipcia, etc. en el mismo edificio, que es también de valor histórico. Merece la pena al 100%.

(Translated by Google) As soon as you enter, an aroma of cedar from Lebanon envelops and seduces you and your view runs through display cases full of different and personal objects, which take you to a world of craftsmanship that has already disappeared, beautiful objects and of all prices from bookmarks of €3. that you can personalize, including beautiful medieval postcards reminiscent of miniature medieval books, reproductions of chests or the rooster of San Isidoro brought from Damascus in different sizes made of bronze, fountain pens, books of art or about medieval cities like Toro or León, objects that imitate ivory seduce you behind shelves, albarelos... all this fills a small and crowded space, like an oriental souk while you listen to Gregorian or medieval music. And I have saved the best for last, the kindness and enthusiasm of Antonio, who seduces you like a good craftsman, with his good work and his passion for his work. A highly recommended place to take refuge in the different and find an object to acquire for yourself, as a souvenir of the city of León or to give to someone who knows how to appreciate the beauty of special and different objects, with a personal and non-industrial touch. A Shangri-La next to San Isidoro. (Original) Nada mas entrar, un aroma a cedro del Líbano te envuelve y seduce y la vista recorre vitrinas llenas de objetos diferentes y personales, que te llevan a un mundo de artesanía ya desaparecido, objetos bellos y de todos los precios desde marca páginas de 3€ que puedes personalizar, pasando por bellísimas postales medievales que recuerdan a libros miniados medievales, reproducciones de arquetas o del gallo de San Isidoro traído desde Damasco en diferentes tamaños hechos en bronce , plumas estilográficas, libros de arte o sobre ciudades medievales como Toro o León, objetos que imitando a marfil te seducen detrás de estanterías, albarelos... todo esto llena un espacio pequeño y abarrotado, como de zoco oriental mientras escuchas música gregoriana o medieval. Y he dejado lo mejor para el final, la amabilidad y el entusiasmo de Antonio, que te seduce como buen artesano, con su buen hacer y su pasión por su trabajo. Un sitio muy recomendable para refugiarse en lo diferente y encontrar algún objeto que adquirir para ti, como recuerdo de la ciudad de León o para regalar a alguien que sepa apreciar la belleza de los objetos especiales y distintos, con un toque personal y no industrial. Un Shangri-La al lado de San Isidoro.

Besides the fact that the items are quite beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, and in my case, an inkwell that I bought, it seems to be of good quality, the man who runs the shop clearly loves his work and art. I had the pleasure of speaking with him about art history, and it's truly a pleasure to listen to him speak. If I come back to León, I will definitely visit this shop again and buy something or two.

(Translated by Google) The most original shop/workshop (and practically a museum) I've seen in a long time.

(Translated by Google) A highly recommended experience. In the heart of the Leonese mountain lies this treasure that holds many surprises for the visitor. The guide is very educational and pleasant, and gave us a lot of information about the cave in a very pleasant way. The route is short, and it is ideal to go with children. The only thing is that to get there you have to climb a steep slope, but there is enough time to climb it. (Original) Una experiencia muy recomendable. En plena montaña leonesa se esconde este tesoro que guarda muchas sorpresas para el visitante. La guía es muy didáctica y agradable, y nos dio mucha información sobre la cueva de una forma muy amena.

(Translated by Google) Cave preserved in a very natural way and in very good condition. The guide Elena made our visit very enjoyable, with very clear explanations for all ages. As a helmet and headlight are provided for the visit, it makes it a little 'adventure' for the little ones in the house. Access to the cave is from the town along a marked path, but with a lot of unevenness, it is better to be physically fit, cloudy days or with little heat are recommended, there are no shadows on the route. Totally recommended. You must book your visit in advance. (Original) Cueva conservada de forma muy natural y en muy buen estado. La guía Elena nos hizo la visita muy amena, con explicaciones muy claras para todas las edades. Como se facilita casco y frontal de luz para la visita, hace que sea una pequeña 'aventura' para los más pequeños de la casa. El acceso a la cueva se hace desde el pueblo por un sendero señalizado, pero con mucho desnivel, mejor estar en forma físicamente, recomendable días nublados o con poco calor, no hay sombras en el recorrido. Totalmente recomendable. Hay que reservar con antelación la visita.

(Translated by Google) It's very beautiful. You must book in advance, and the minimum group size is 5. You can't enter without a guide. To reach the cave, you have to walk about 1.5 km up the mountain where the cave is located. Once inside, it's a bit cold, but at least when we went, it wasn't that cold. I think shorts (if it's warm outside) would be fine. The visit lasts about 2 hours. At the beginning, they give you a kit with a helmet, a 330ml water bottle, a chocolate bar, and a small backpack. However, I recommend bringing more water, as 330ml is not enough. I think it's an excellent cave to visit. (Original) Es muy bonita, hay que reservar antes y el grupo mínimo para entrar es de 5 personas, no se puede entrar sin guía. Para llegar a la cueva hay que caminar unos 1.5km para subir la montaña en donde está la cueva. Una vez dentro sí que hace un poco de frío pero al menos cuando fuimos, no tanto, yo creo que con pantalón corto (si en el exterior hace calor) vas bien. La visita en total dura unas 2 horas, al inicio te dan un kit con un casco, botella de agua de 330ml, chocolatina y una pequeña mochila. Sin embargo recomiendo llevar mas agua ya que 330ml es poco. Me parece una cueva excelente para visitar.

(Translated by Google) The Estatua “La Negrilla” – or rather, León’s entry in the “What the hell is that supposed to represent?” competition. This bronze masterpiece by Amancio González sits half-reclining proudly in the Plaza de Santo Domingo and embodies modern urbanity - or so they say. With its angular, cubist shapes, it looks as if she had a close friendship with Picasso, who advised her: "Less is more, unless it's more confusing." Supposedly it represents the city's transformation, but honestly it looks more like that , as if she herself was still having difficulty processing this change. A tribute to the strength of León? Perhaps. Or simply a clever way to leave passersby perplexed. But at least it's something to talk about, and that's what counts after all! (Original) Die Estatua „La Negrilla“ – oder sagen wir besser, Leóns Beitrag zum “Was zur Hölle soll das darstellen?”-Wettbewerb. Dieses bronzene Meisterwerk von Amancio González sitzt halb liegend stolz auf der Plaza de Santo Domingo und verkörpert die moderne Urbanität – oder so sagt man. Mit ihren kantigen, kubistischen Formen wirkt sie, als hätte sie eine enge Freundschaft mit Picasso gehabt, der ihr geraten hat: „Weniger ist mehr, außer es ist verwirrender.“ Angeblich repräsentiert sie die Transformation der Stadt, doch ehrlich gesagt sieht sie eher aus, als hätte sie selbst noch Schwierigkeiten, diesen Wandel zu verarbeiten. Eine Hommage an die Stärke Leóns? Vielleicht. Oder einfach eine clevere Möglichkeit, Passanten ratlos zurückzulassen. Aber immerhin – sie sorgt für Gesprächsstoff, und das zählt ja schließlich auch!

Personally, I found it curious and emotional, although I would have liked to find some information nearby that would explain its story. It is worth seeing if you are walking through the center. (Original) Una escultura muy especial y llena de simbolismo, que se ha ganado el cariño de locales y visitantes. Es fácil ver a niños trepando sobre ella o a gente esperándose junto al gigante.

Beautiful, peaceful, green, park with a lot of trees and shade. You can see peacocks here.

Trees, bushes, and peacocks.

Amazing experience walking in the morning before departing home. There are peacocks, varieties of ducks, peasants, birds, etc. Quite a treat! The park is clean and well kept.

In summer it provides plenty of shade from the trees which is welcome when you want to be outdoors in summer but don't want to get too hot. The park has two playground areas (the one further away from the pond is for older kids). The playground next to the pond has various slides (for baby, toddlers and biggger kids), swings, there is a sand pitch and parts where kids can climb. There is a pond with ducks, pigeons and beautiful peacocks. Close to the pond are some fountains, there are many grass areas and all through the park you'll find many pathsto go for a stroll. The park is right next to the river Bernesga and opposite Plaza San Marcos and the Parador.

This park is for a lil bird watching and feeding the ducks.. 😉

An amazing example of a Roman entry to a town during Roman times. The arch has been reconstructed, but the oroginal design has not changed. There are four entries to this gorgeous city of Leon along with city walls surrounding.

There were barricades setup, presumably for works?

(Translated by Google) CHURCH OF THE SAVIOR OF PALAT DEL REY. The king's palace. San Salvador de Palat del Rey, also called San Salvador del Palaz del Rey, is a Christian church considered the oldest known in the city of León, in Spain. It belonged to a monastery founded by King Ramiro II of León, built between 931-951 next to his palace and intended for his daughter Elvira Ramírez, who entered it as an abbess nun. Next to the property there was a cemetery, estimated to be the first royal pantheon in León. Next to this monastery of San Salvador de Palat del Rey (or Palaç de Rei) there was a cemetery where the Leonese kings Ramiro II, Ordoño III, Sancho I of León and Ordoño IV were buried. After the passage and devastation of Almanzor In 988, these burials were moved to the Royal Pantheon. With Almanzor's incursion into the area in 988, the complex would suffer significant devastation. Later restorations began in the church, which became a parish, although it reached the first years of the 20th century in a state of abandonment, such that it was on the verge of being destroyed. It was saved thanks to the architectural study of archaeologist Juan Crisóstomo Torbado and the historical study of Manuel Gómez-Moreno; Both demonstrated the importance of preserving a building of great value in the history of the kingdom of León and, therefore, in the history of Spain. In 2006 the last restoration and enhancement of this ancient church took place. It was declared a Site of Cultural Interest in 1931. The original building was of Mozarabic architecture, with a Greek cross plan, with access to the apse through a triumphal arch on columns. This building must have been designed and built on top of a Roman temple, with marble columns. Mozarabic architecture in the kingdom of León knew how to take advantage, in many cases, with subtlety, of the remains of Roman temples. The influence of the East can be observed in all its factories. An influence that perhaps did not come from southern Muslim Hispania, as many experts believe, but from Gaul, where the kingdom of the Merovingians and later the empire of Charlemagne, strongly influenced the Christian sentiment of the Leonese kingdom. (Original) IGLESIA DEL SALVADOR DE PALAT DEL REY. El palacio del rey. San Salvador de Palat del Rey, también llamada San Salvador del Palaz del Rey, es una iglesia cristiana considerada como la más antigua conocida de la ciudad de León, en España. Perteneció a un monasterio fundado por el rey Ramiro II de León, construido entre 931-951 junto a su palacio y destinado a su hija Elvira Ramírez, que ingresó en él como monja abadesa. Junto al inmueble hubo un cementerio, estimado como el primer panteón real leonés. Junto a este monasterio de San Salvador de Palat del Rey (o de Palaç de Rei) hubo un cementerio donde fueron enterrados los reyes leoneses Ramiro II, Ordoño III, Sancho I de León​ y Ordoño IV.​ Tras el paso y devastación de Almanzor en el 988, estos enterramientos se trasladaron al Panteón Real. Con la incursión de Almanzor en la zona en 988, el complejo sufriría una importante devastación. Más tarde se iniciaron restauraciones en la iglesia, que llegó a ser parroquia, aunque alcanzó los primeros años del siglo xx en un estado de abandono, tal que a punto estuvo de ser destruida. Se salvó gracias al estudio arquitectónico del arqueólogo Juan Crisóstomo Torbado y al estudio histórico de Manuel Gómez-Moreno; ambos demostraron la importancia de conservar un edificio de gran valor en la historia del reino de León y, por lo tanto, en la historia de España. En 2006 tuvo lugar la última restauración y puesta en valor de esta iglesia tan antigua. Fue declarada Bien de Interés Cultural en 1931. El edificio original era de arquitectura mozárabe, con planta de cruz griega, con acceso al ábside por arco de triunfo sobre columnas. Este edificio debió ser ideado y construido encima de un templo romano, con columnas de mármol. La arquitectura mozárabe en el reino de León supo a aprovechar, en muchos casos, con sutileza, los restos de templos romanos, La influencia de oriente se puede observar en todas sus fábricas. Una influencia que quizás no llegó de la Hispania musulmana del sur, como opinan numerosos expertos, sino por la Galia, donde el reino de los merovingios y posteriormente del imperio de Carlomagno, influyó con fuerza en el sentimiento cristiano del reino leonés.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful sculpture of three great women who, as the article in Diario de León says, which I accompany below, after their inauguration, should be better known. And especially in these current times. Three new neighbors ABAD ANTONIO VIÑAYO INAUGURATED THE SCULPTURE THAT IMMORTALIZES THE LEONESE INFANTS SANCHA, URRACA AND ELVIRA E. GANCEDO - LEÓN. MARCH 12, 2003 (00:00 H.) "They were the most select of the medieval Leonese people." With these words, the abbot of the Collegiate Church of San Isidoro, Antonio Viñayo, defined the infantas Sancha, Elvira and Urraca, whose sculpture was officially inaugurated yesterday on Ramón y Cajal street, at the foot of the monumental complex of San Isidoro. This inauguration, which was part of the commemorative events of International Women's Day, brought together, in addition to Abbot Antonio Viñayo, the Councilor for Equal Opportunities, Inés Prada, the mayor of the city, Mario Amilivia, and the woman herself. sculptor, María Salud Parada Morollón from Salamanca, as well as several other councilors. The artist won, in June of last year, the public competition to place in a space in the city a sculpture of these three women who exerted a decisive influence on the historical trajectory of the Leonese country. Although the monument was installed in front of San Isidoro for fifteen days, this will be, from now on, its definitive location. Remembering these women "in charge of governing all the monasteries of the kingdom", as Viñayo explained, and therefore, with great power, is the objective of the sculpture group. The abbot of the Collegiate Church recalled how Sancha and her daughters Elvira and Urraca - whose remains have rested, for eight centuries, in the Royal Pantheon - were the architects of successive extensions of the aforementioned monument and, specifically, to Urraca "we owe the donation of the chalice that bears his name" and a "life-size ivory crucifix with a gold skirt one finger thick; "that disappeared with the French raid." The author described the infantas as “spiritual, pious and very cultured,” whose bronze image shows angular lines with a realistic concession on the face. María Salud Parada missed greater knowledge and dissemination of the history of the Kingdom of León. (Original) Una bonita escultura de tres grandes mujeres que como dice el articulo del Diario de León, que acompaño abajo, tras su inauguracion, deberian de ser mas conocidas. Y sobretodo en estos tiempos que corren. Tres nuevas vecinas EL ABAD ANTONIO VIÑAYO INAUGURÓ LA ESCULTURA QUE INMORTALIZA A LAS INFANTAS LEONESAS SANCHA, URRACA Y ELVIRA E. GANCEDO - LEÓN. 12 DE MARZO DE 2003 (00:00 H.) «Eran lo más selecto del pueblo leonés medieval». Con estas palabras definía el abad de la Colegiata de San Isidoro, Antonio Viñayo, a las infantas Sancha, Elvira y Urraca, cuya escultura fue inaugurada ayer, oficialmente, en la calle Ramón y Cajal, a los pies del conjunto monumental de San Isidoro. Esta inauguración, que se enmarcó dentro de los actos conmemorativos del Día Internacional de la Mujer, congregó, además de al abad Antonio Viñayo, a la concejala de Igualdad de Oportunidades, Inés Prada, al alcalde de la ciudad, Mario Amilivia, y a la propia escultora, la salmantina María Salud Parada Morollón, además de varios otros ediles. La artista se alzó ganadora, en junio del pasado año, del concurso público para colocar en un espacio de la ciudad una escultura de estas tres mujeres que ejercieron una influencia decisiva en la trayectoria histórica del país leonés. Aunque el monumento estuvo instalado frente a San Isidoro durante quince días, éste será, a partir de ahora, su emplazamiento definitivo. Recordar a estas mujeres «encargadas de gobernar todos los monasterios del reino», como explicó Viñayo, y por tanto, con un gran poder, es el objetivo del conjunto escultórico. El abad de la Colegiata recordó cómo Sancha y sus hijas Elvira y Urraca -cuyos restos reposan, desde hace ocho siglos, en el Panteón Real- fueron las artífices de sucesivas ampliaciones del citado monumento y, en concreto, a Urraca «le debemos la donación del cáliz que lleva su nombre» y de un «crucifijo en marfil de tamaño natural con un faldellín de oro de un dedo de grueso; que desapareció con la francesada». De «espirituales, piadosas y muy cultas» calificó su autora a las infantas, cuya imagen en bronce muestra unas líneas angulosas con una concesión realista en el rostro. María Salud Parada echó en falta un mayor conocimiento y difusión de la historia del Reino de León.

(Translated by Google) Of course, it's not surprising that you'll find lion statues, graffiti, and other references to the namesake predator in many places in León. However, the only truly original piece is the lion that appears to be rising from the sewers in the middle of the bustling Plaza de San Marcelo, ravenously on the lookout for tourists. Those who dare to approach it will be rewarded with a great photo opportunity! (Original) Naürlich ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass man in León vielerorts auf Löwenstatuen, -graffitis und anderen Bezügen zum namensgleichen Raubtier stößt. So richtig originell ist aber nur der Löwe, der mitten auf dem belebten Plaza de San Marcelo aus der Kanalisation empor zu steigen scheint, um gefräßig nach Touristen Ausschau zu halten. Der Mut, sich ihm zu nähern, wird mit einem tollen Fotomotiv belohnt!

(Translated by Google) A nonsense, we have been coming to this Casino for years and today the security guard randomly and for no reason did not let a colleague enter. I would like the owner to review the images so that he himself could see the events..., and then say that he had made a mistake and that now it could happen. Many times you have to see who is the security guard.... Because they get into the role and what happens happens. This Casino lost...., You will have plenty of clients and that is your right. As I said, be careful with your security colleague. (Original) Un despropósito, llevamos años viniendo a este Casino y hoy el guardia de seguridad aleatoriamente y sin ningún motivo no dejo entrar a un compañero. Me gustaría que el dueño revisar las imágenes para que el mismo viera los acontecimientos..., para luego decir que se había equivocado y que ahora sí podía pasar. Muchas veces hay que ver a quien se pone de guardia de seguridad.... Porque se mete en el papel y pasa lo que pasa. Este Casino perdió ...., Le sobraran los clientes y está en su derecho. Lo dicho cuidado con el colega de seguridad.

(Translated by Google) I enter the reception desk and there's no one there. I'm about to go to the gaming room, and there I withdraw cash from the ATM. As I'm collecting the bills, a woman from the gaming room comes out, chewing food, and rudely tells me she's sorry, but the ATM is for on-site customers only. I automatically decide not to go in and go to another gaming room. I then go to the Banco Santander website and confirm that the ATM is public and available to any Santander or Visa customer. Politeness and manners come first. (Original) Entro a recepción y no hay nadie, me dispongo a pasar al salón de juego y en la misma recepción saco efectivo en su cajero automático, cuando estoy recogiendo los billetes sale una señora empleada del local masticando comida desde el salón de juego y con muy malas formas me dice que lo siente pero que el cajero es solo para clientes del local, automáticamente decido ni entrar a jugar e irme a otro salón de juego.

(Translated by Google) A disastrous casino, everything from the cleanliness to the food is half-abandoned, employees are grim-faced, and even trouble getting in is difficult. The phone information is a joke. We won't be returning. (Original) Un desastre de Casino, medio abandonado todo desde la limpieza hasta la comida, empleados con malas caras y problemas hasta para entrar, información telefónica de chiste, no volveremos.

(Translated by Google) Today the only casino employee there in the early afternoon was lovely. In the engine room you can smoke in a closed area, and with very good toilets. Otherwise related to the game, average, since they do not have cash tables or tournament tables. (Original) Hoy la unica empleada del casino que había a primera hora de la tarde era un encanto. En la sala de máquinas se puede fumar en una zona cerrada, y con aseos muy bien. Por lo demás relacionado con el juego, regular, ya que no tienen ni mesas de cash ni mesas de torneo.

(Translated by Google) Poker dealers are good people. (Original) Los croupiers de poker son buena gente.

Great to learn about the history of flour making in the area. And the machinery is super well preserved. Abel gave us loads of great info. Can't recommend enough. Great to see the traditional culture of villages being preserved, despite the difficulties that entails.

(Translated by Google) A great experience. The cultural space is divided into several buildings where, with the guide's fantastic explanations, we can learn about the past of our towns from an educational and entertaining perspective. The focus is on two processes: the cultivation and storage of grain, and milling. We'll be able to see ancient tools and machines, learn about the local customs, and even learn about the language and ancient trades associated with wheat. Also, thanks to the detailed explanations, we'll learn more about vernacular architecture and its elements. Last but not least, there's an exhibition hall with contemporary works that complement and contrast the visit. A must-see if you're in the area. The visit lasts approximately one hour, but I actually found it very short. (Original) Una gran experiencia. El espacio cultural se divide en varios edificios en los que, con las fantásticas explicaciones del guía, podemos acercarnos al pasado de nuestros pueblos desde una perspectiva didáctica y amena. El interés se centra en dos procesos, el cultivo y almacenamiento del grano, y la molienda. Podremos ver utensilios y máquinas antiguas, conocer las costumbres de la zona, e incluso particularidades del lenguaje o los oficios antiguos asociados con el trigo. También, gracias a las detalladas explicaciones, sabremos más sobre la arquitectura vernácula y sus elementos. Por último aunque no menos interesante, una sala de exposiciones con obras contemporáneas que complementan y ponen el punto contrastante a la visita. Visita imprescindible y obligada si estáis por la zona. La duración es de una hora aproximadamente, pero realmente a mí se me hizo muy corto.

(Translated by Google) The Gordoncillo Flour Factory is a true cultural treasure that transports visitors through the history of wheat and the crops grown in our villages. In its various buildings, you can explore the old weights and machines used for flour production and learn about milling. The guide, Abel, is excellent, and the traveling exhibition hall is fascinating, turning the place into a highly recommended cultural center. If you're in the area, you should definitely visit. It takes about an hour, but it feels short. Abel makes it fun and enjoyable. (Original) La Fábrica Harinera de Gordoncillo es un verdadero tesoro cultural que transporta a los visitantes a través de la historia del trigo y los cultivos de nuestros pueblos. En sus diversos edificios, se pueden explorar las antiguas medidas de peso y maquinas usadas para la fabricación de la harina y aprender sobre la molienda. El guía, Abel es estupendo, y la sala de exposiciones itinerantes es fascinante, convirtiendo el lugar en un centro cultural muy recomendable. Si estás por la zona, definitivamente debes visitarla. Es entorno a 1h pero se hace corto. Abel hace que sea divertida y amena.

(Translated by Google) The guided tour of the museum was enjoyable, entertaining, and very enriching. Abel explained everything clearly and interestingly, and you really learned a lot about history and culture.

(Translated by Google) The visit was a real surprise. In this museum, you not only learn to differentiate between different types of cereals, but it also shows the history of milling in a mill from the first third of the 20th century. The restoration of the adobe walls demonstrates respect for their original essence. The machinery is magnificent and in impeccable condition. But beyond the exhibits and the history the museum holds, the passion, warmth, and knowledge of the guide who accompanied us made the visit unforgettable. Furthermore, it is a center that promotes local life with creative offerings and cultural events. These types of institutions are the driving force of rural life and should serve as an example for other municipalities. (Original) La visita ha sido una auténtica sorpresa. En este museo no solo aprendes a diferenciar los tipos de cereales, sino que muestra la historia de la molienda en una fabrica de haría del primer tercio del siglo XX. La restauración de los muros de tapial muestra el respeto por su esencia original. La maquinaria es magnífica y está en un estado impecable. Pero más allá de las piezas expuestas y la historia que guarda el museo, la pasión, cercanía y conocimiento del guía que nos acompañó ha hecho que la visita haya sido inolvidable Además, es un centro que impulsa la vida local con propuestas creativas y eventos culturales. Este tipo de instituciones son el motor de la vida rural y deberían ser ejemplo para otros municipios.

(Translated by Google) It was a very interesting visit led by Abel, a very eloquent guide who told us the history of the Gordoncillo flour industry. Recommended for all ages and audiences.

(Original) Ha sido una visita muy interesante de la mano de Abel, un guía muy elocuente que nos ha contado la historia de la industria harinera de Gordoncillo. Recomendable para todas las edades y públicos. Además, la parte de arriba del edificio, aparte de tener una techumbre de madera digna de ver, alberga una exposición temporal muy interesante. Espero volver pronto!

(Translated by Google) An experience as entertaining as it is absolutely enriching. Abel, the guide, successfully livens up the visit to these lovingly restored facilities, reminiscent of a way of life common to many towns. It's easy to appreciate the care in his explanations, which he displays with great skill and mastery of his content. I recommend a visit both for the main buildings and for the temporary exhibitions hosted there. Projects like this bring so much life to the town and are worth nurturing and caring for. (Original) Una experiencia tan entretenida como absolutamente enriquecedora. Abel, el guía, ameniza con mucho éxito la visita de unas instalaciones restauradas con amor, reminiscentes de un modo de vida común a muchas poblaciones.

Recomiendo la visita tanto por los edificios principales como por las exposiciones temporales que alli se acogen. Proyectos como este dan mucha vida al pueblo y merecen la pena mimarlos y cuidarlos.

(Translated by Google) A rather unjustly forgotten castle is this one in Alija. You can visit the interior by calling the adjacent house to the left of the entrance to the Castle (do it at a reasonable time please!). A very kind lady will open the door for us and let us visit freely. The castle's singularity is that it was more of a palace than a defensive enclosure, this is mostly what has survived to us (15th and 16th centuries). It is also located in the lower part of the town. The keep and most of the exterior walls are in acceptable condition. But there is still much to do. There are very attractive views from the round hallway (be careful when going up!). (Original) Un castillo bastante injustamente olvidado es éste de Alija. Se puede visitar el interior llamando a la casa contigua a la izquierda de la entrada al Castillo (hacedlo en un horario razonable por favor!). Una señora muy amable nos abrirá la puerta y nos dejará hacer la visita libremente. El castillo tiene como singularidades haber sido más recinto palaciego que defensivo, esto es mayormente lo que ha llegado a nosotros (S XV y XVI). Además se encuentra en la parte baja del pueblo. Se encuentran en aceptable estado la torre del homenaje y la mayoría de paramentos exteriores. Pero hay mucho por hacer todavía. Hay unas vistas muy atractivas desde el pasillo de ronda (cuidado al subir!).

(Translated by Google) The Castle of the Maragata town of Alija del Infantado is worth a visit. Built by the powerful Family of the Dukes of Infantado. Its exterior structure is preserved, as well as the Torre del Homenaje. Admission is free, although you have to ask for the key in the house next to the castle door, a very kind lady gives it to you. It is worth the visit, as well as the town. (Original) Merece la pena la visita al Castillo de la localidad maragata de Alija del Infantado. Levantado por la poderosa Familia de los Duques del Infantado. Se conserva su estructura exterior, así como la Torre del Homenaje. La entrada es gratuita y libre, aunque hay que pedir la llave en la casa que hay junto a la puerta del castillo, te las da una señora muy amable. Merece la pena la visita, así como al pueblo.

(Translated by Google) Much of the exterior is completely restored, the back part remains in ruins. The truth is that it is impressive. Hopefully they finish it soon and we can enjoy it. (Original) Gran parte del exterior está totalmente restaurada, queda la parte de atrás que sigue en ruinas. La verdad es que es imponente. Ojala lo terminen pronto y podramos disfrutarlo.

(Translated by Google) The exterior is well maintained and quite beautiful. A shame not to be able to visit it inside since it was closed although it seems that it is more deteriorated inside (Original) La parte exterior está bien cuidada y es bastante bonita. Una pena no poder visitarlo por dentro ya que estaba cerrado aunque parece que por dentro está más deteriorado

(Translated by Google) A well preserved and very beautiful castle. I didn't know that there was a castle in Alija del Infantado and I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it. You can visit it inside, right next to the castle lives a very kind town lord who is the one who shows it. (Original) Un castillo bien conservado y muy bonito. No sabia que en Alija del Infantado hubiera un castillo y me sorprendio gratamente cuando lo vi. Se puede visitar por dentro, justo al lado del castillo vive un señor del pueblo muy amable que es quien lo enseña.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful cloister attached to the cathedral of León. The cathedral of León is already impressive but walking through this cloister is another spectacle. Details everywhere, it is well worth spending time on. Very nice photos. There is access to a museum that is not included in the entrance to the cathedral and the person at the ticket office offered us a rather unpleasant deal. I repeat the cloister is totally recommended. (Original) Claustro anexo a la catedral de León muy bonito. La catedral de León ya es impresionante pero pasear por este claustro es otro espectáculo. Detalles por todos los lados, merece mucho la pena dedicarle tiempo. Fotos muy bonitas. Hay un acceso a un museo que no está incluido en la entrada de la catedral y la persona que estaba en taquilla nos ofreció un trato bastante desagradable. Repito el claustro totalmente recomendable.

(Translated by Google) Each piece of the cathedral, each room surrounding the cloister, and the cloister itself, its ribbed vaults with spectacular "3D reliefs", the parade of all the statuary super well classified and explained, . . . The immense quantity of large, medium and small treasures that this cloister offers makes the visit and tour a mandatory complement to that of the "pulchra leonina" cathedral. (Original) Cada pieza de la catedral, cada dependencia que rodea el claustro, y el propio claustro, sus bóvedas de crucería con unos "relieves 3 d" espectaculares, el desfile de toda la estatuaria super bien clasificada y explicada,. . . La cantidad inmensa de grandes, medianos y pequeños tesoros que ofrece este claustro hace que la visita y recorrido sea un complemento obligatorio al de la "pulchra leonina" catedral.

(Translated by Google) Simply spectacular. Without a doubt, León Cathedral is one of the most beautiful churches in Spain, and its cloister is exceptional. The visit takes between one and one and a half hours. It's worth visiting in the morning. (Original) Simplemente espectacular. Sin duda alguna la Catedral de León es de las iglesias más bellas de España y su claustro es escepcional. La visita toma entre una hora y una hora y media.

(Original) Visita conjunta con la catedral, con la entrada de 7€ va incluida la visita al claustro. Merece la pena el tiempo invertido, porque conserva muchas figuras y bajorrelieve en buenas condiciones.

(Translated by Google) Everything is very nice, the explanations help you understand and get an idea of ​​the whole story. (Original) Todo muy bonito, las explicaciones te ayudan a entender y hacerte una idea de toda la historia.

(Translated by Google) I wish it had more signage and information. It's small but very beautiful. It's a shame that museums take up all the interior spaces and you can't see it completely. (Original) Me gustaría que tuviera algo más de cartelería e información, es pequeño pero muy bonito es una pena que los museos ocupen todos sus espacios interiores y no poder verlo completamente.

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful Gothic cathedrals with Renaissance influences in Spain. An impressive monument that is worth visiting. Admission costs about 6 euros and includes a very complete audio guide. Although you can visit it in the afternoon, I recommend doing it a little before noon, when the light enters more directly through the stained glass windows and the color composition is spectacular. It is the third time we have come to León and we have entered again (Original) Una de las catedrales góticas con influencias renacentistas más bonitas de España. Un monumento impresionante que merece la pena visitar. La entrada cuesta unos 6 euros e incluye una audioguía muy completa.

Es la tercera vez que venimos a León y hemos vuelto a entrar

(Translated by Google) Alonso Pérez de Guzmán, better known as Guzmán the Good, was born in León on January 24, 1256, and died in Gaucín (Málaga) on September 19, 1309. He was a Spanish soldier and nobleman who is considered the founder of the House of Medina-Sidonia. Although he never held the title of Duke of Medina-Sidonia, he laid the foundations upon which the noble house would be established over the centuries. Legend tells of Alonso Pérez de Guzmán defending the city of Tarifa (Cádiz), then besieged by the Benimerines of Morocco. The besiegers found no way to defeat him in arms and seized his 10-year-old son, Pedro Alfonso, who was presented to his father before the fortress walls and invited him to surrender the city or else they would kill his son. And here the heroic deed arose, a demonstration of selflessness and loyalty, after struggling between his paternal love and the fidelity he had promised to his king, Sancho IV. Guzmán the Good, leaning over the wall, refused to surrender the siege the king had entrusted him with guarding. To demonstrate his determination, he threw his own dagger into the field, while, according to an ancient ballad, he exclaimed: “Kill him with this one, if you have decided, for I prefer honor without a son, rather than a son with my honor stained.” A remarkable triumph for his word, given through the sacrifice of his son. For this reason, the king gave him the nickname “The Good” and the Lordship of Sanlúcar. (Original) Alonso Pérez de Guzmán, más conocido como Guzmán el Bueno, nació en León el 24 de enero de 1256 y murió en Gaucín (Málaga) el 19 de septiembre de 1309. Fue un militar y noble español al que se considera fundador de la Casa de Medina-Sidonia, pues, aunque nunca ostentó el título de Duque de Medina-Sidonia, fue él quien puso las bases sobre las cuales se asentaría a lo largo de los siglos dicha casa nobiliaria. Cuenta la leyenda que Alonso Pérez de Guzmán, defendía la plaza de Tarifa (Cádiz), entonces sitiada por los benimerines de Marruecos. No encontraron los sitiadores la forma de vencerle por las armas y se apoderaron de su hijo Pedro Alfonso de 10 años, se lo presentaron a su padre ante los muros de la fortaleza y le invitaron a rendir la plaza o, por contra, darían muerte a su hijo. Y aquí surgió el hecho heroico, muestra de abnegación y lealtad, tras debatirse entre su amor paternal y la fidelidad prometida a su rey Sancho IV. Guzmán el Bueno asomado a la muralla se negó a entregar el sitio que el rey le había encargado custodiar. Y para mostrar su determinación lanzó al campo su propio puñal, mientras que según un antiguo romance exclamaba: “Matadle con éste, si lo habéis determinado, que más quiero honra sin hijo, que hijo con mi honor manchado.” Destacado triunfo de la palabra dada con el sacrificio de su hijo. Por ello, el rey le dio el sobrenombre de «El Bueno», y el Señorío de Sanlúcar.

(Translated by Google) A magnificent monument to unwavering loyalty that reminds us that the ultimate form of fatherhood is handing the sword to your enemies with a smile so that they can sink it into the heart of your own child. It has to be said, this is a real “Father of the Year” trophy! How inspiring that we celebrate such heroic acts of self-sacrifice. I just wonder if Guzmán thought that day: “Well, what are the years of education and family happiness compared to defending a fortress? After all, the walls are thicker than blood!” There's probably nothing like a good lesson in patriotism, especially when it costs the lives of one's descendants. (Original) Ein prachtvolles Denkmal der unerschütterlichen Loyalität, das uns daran erinnert, dass die ultimative Form der Vaterschaft darin besteht, den Feinden mit einem Lächeln das Schwert zu reichen, damit sie es im Herzen des eigenen Kindes versenken können. Man muss schon sagen, das ist eine echte “Vater des Jahres”-Trophäe! Wie inspirierend, dass wir solch heroische Akte der Selbstaufopferung feiern. Ich frage mich nur, ob Guzmán an diesem Tag gedacht hat: “Nun, was sind schon Erziehungsjahre und Familienglück im Vergleich zur Verteidigung einer Festung? Die Mauern sind schließlich dicker als Blut!” Es gibt wohl nichts wie eine gute Lektion in Patriotismus, besonders wenn sie das Leben der Nachkommen kostet.

I have been to the San Francisco park many times but attended the San Froilán festival in early October 2025. There were music concerts most days with food trucks selling different types of food and drinks too. A great place for families and/or people who want to enjoy the park ( at any time of the year)

Small park but beautiful... shade and relaxation 😌

Classic park de barrio with excellent large trees and a fountain. Plenty of shaded benches and some nice flowers. Well cared for. There's a small playground for under fives. Urban Spain at its best.

Three different parts of a playground: toddler, bigger kids and big kids. There are slides in all three parts and lots of things to climb up and accross. Central, close to El Corte Ingles and a 10 min walk to the cathedral.

The weather do not help much with the cooler evening, on the Come y Calle season on the end of June, food good in very friendly music festival open to the public.

Very Nice park.

The site is ok, well decorated and it is often cleaned, i would recommend visiting this decent place 👍

Very nice

City center Gate. Made for cars convenience, not people. Important to find your way within León.

Ok

ok

Great place

(Translated by Google) Alonso Pérez de Guzmán ("Guzmán el Bueno"), a soldier and nobleman from León, born around 1256, became legendary for his defense of Tarifa, ordered by King Sancho IV, when the Infante Don Juan besieged it. During the capture, his son was brought before the fortress walls, and Guzmán was given a choice: surrender the fortress or kill his son. He chose loyalty to the king/commitment: "I have not fathered a son that he should be against my land." The king gave him the nickname "El Bueno" (the Good) for his loyalty and for opening the granaries of his house to feed the poor during a year of famine. The monument serves as an entry point to the city: it is located so that people arriving through the station immediately see it. This makes it not just a monument, but a visual marker of the city for visitors. There's a fountain around the monument and it's located in a traffic circle, so most traffic circles around it throughout the day, going about their business. It's a very bright spot and, like a beacon, indicates which direction you're in, and it's visible from afar. It seems like it could use a little cleaning. (Original) Алонсо Перес де Гусман («Guzmán el Bueno») военный и благородный в Леоне, родился около 1256 года. Стал легендой из-за защиты Тарифа по приказу короля Санчо IV, когда инфант Дон Хуан её осадил. При захвате его сын был приведён перед стенами крепости, и Гусману было предложено: сдай крепость или убью сына. Он выбрал верность королю/обязательству: «не породил я сына, чтобы он был против моей земли».  Король дал ему прозвище «El Bueno» (Добрый) за верность и за то, что в голодный год он открыл амбары своего дома, чтобы накормить бедных. Памятник как точка входа в город: расположен так, что люди приезжают через станцию и сразу видят его. Это делает его не просто памятником, но визуальным маркером города для приезжих. Вокруг памятника фонтан и стоит на круге так что большая часть транспорта постоянно кружит вокруг него в течении дня проезжая по своим делам Очень яркое пятно и как маяк указатель в какой вы стороне и его видно из далека , кажется немного не помешало бы его помыть

(Translated by Google) One of León's most iconic spots, it's a meeting point for both locals and tourists thanks to its excellent location. The story of Guzmán is certainly intriguing, but now's not the time to tell it, haha. If you look him up, you'll be surprised. (Original) Uno de los lugares más emblemáticos de León ya que es un punto de encuentro entre los habitantes de la ciudad y aquellos que vienen de turismo dado su buena ubicación. La historia sobre Guzmán es cuanto menos curiosa pero ahora no es el momento de contarla jeje. Si buscáis sobre él os sorprenderá.

(Translated by Google) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unforgettable experience in a family adventure park I took my daughter and her 12-year-old friend to Frontera Celta this August, and it was a fantastic experience and unbeatable in every way. The site, the facilities and, above all, the attention of Nacho and Charlie, the father and son who manage the park, are exceptional. Initially we considered going to Mr. Shark in Valencia de Don Juan, but we opted for Frontera Celta when we discovered that it was a family-friendly facility, less commercial and in a natural enclave with the Porma River and abundant trees. What success! We enjoyed the two rope courses and zip lines, as well as the jump into the void, repeating all the activities. The Saferroller by Kanopeo safety system that Nacho has installed is the best and safest I have seen in adventure parks and via ferratas, far surpassing double carabiner systems. The setting includes farm animals such as loving mules, roosters, chickens and pigs, adding charm to the place. Nacho and Charlie took great care of us, even treating us to soft drinks and food, which we didn't expect. We were eager to return to repeat and try paintball/laser tag and canoes. We had an unforgettable afternoon and we will definitely return. I recommend going at sunset in summer for the pleasant temperature and beautiful light. In short, Frontera Celta offers a safe and exciting adventure experience in a beautiful natural environment, with personalized attention that makes the visit truly special. (Original) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Experiencia inolvidable en un parque de aventuras familiar Llevé a mi hija y su amiga de 12 años a Frontera Celta este agosto, y fue una experiencia fantástica e inmejorable en todos los aspectos. El sitio, las instalaciones y, sobre todo, la atención de Nacho y Charlie, el padre e hijo que gestionan el parque, son excepcionales. Inicialmente consideramos ir a Mr. Shark en Valencia de Don Juan, pero optamos por Frontera Celta al descubrir que era una instalación familiar, menos comercial y en un enclave natural con el río Porma y abundante arboleda. ¡Qué acierto! Disfrutamos de los dos recorridos de cuerdas y tirolinas, además del salto al vacío, repitiendo todas las actividades. El sistema de seguridad Saferroller by Kanopeo que Nacho ha instalado es el mejor y más seguro que he visto en parques de aventura y vías ferratas, superando con creces los sistemas de doble carabinero. El entorno incluye animales de granja como mulas cariñosas, gallos, gallinas y cerdos, añadiendo encanto al lugar. Nacho y Charlie nos atendieron de maravilla, incluso invitándonos a refrescos y comida, lo cual no esperábamos. Nos quedamos con muchas ganas de volver para repetir y probar el paintball/laser tag y las piraguas. Pasamos una tarde inolvidable y sin duda regresaremos. Recomiendo ir al atardecer en verano por la temperatura agradable y la hermosa luz. En resumen, Frontera Celta ofrece una experiencia de aventura segura y emocionante en un entorno natural precioso, con una atención personalizada que hace que la visita sea verdaderamente especial.

(Translated by Google) Multi-adventure park for both children and adults who want to enjoy it. I found it by chance looking for an adventure activity near León where I could spend the holiday more for my daughter, but the surprise was that we adults were going to enjoy it as much or more, accustomed to doing other adventure activities, the park was an incredible experience. Climbs that test you, jumps into the void only for the most daring, zip lines from the top of the trees crossing the river. And while the girl is enjoying more affordable circuits but just as fun. At the end, Nacho, who is a great guy, showed us a picnic area where we could eat and rest on the banks of the Porma River. Thank you Nacho and his team for the great day we had, we will repeat soon. (Original) Parque Multiaventura tanto para niños como para mayores que quieren gozarla. Lo encontré de casualidad buscando actividad de aventura cerca de León donde pasar el día festivo más por mi hija,pero la sorpresa fue que los adultos íbamos a disfrutar tanto o más,acostumbrados a hacer otras actividades de aventura el parque fue una experiencia increíble. Trepadas que te ponen a prueba,saltos al vacío solo para los más atrevidos,tirolinas desde lo alto de los árboles cruzando el rio. Y mientras la niña disfrutando de circuitos más asequibles pero igual de divertidos. Al terminar Nacho que es un tío estupendo nos mostró un merendero donde poder comer y descansar a la orilla del Río Porma. Gracias por el día tan chulo que pasamos a Nacho y su equipo,en breve repetimos.

(Translated by Google) We went to celebrate a friend of my daughter's birthday and they had a great time. Once they got over their fear of heights, they loved ziplining so much they wanted to do it again and again. We'll definitely repeat the experience, but this time it'll be the adults and the kids who will also be ziplining. (Original) Fuimos a celebrar el cumpleaños de una amiga de mi hija y se lo pasaron genial. Una vez que quitaron el miedo a las alturas, lo de tirarse en tirolina les gustó tanto que querían repetir una y otra vez. Seguro que repetimos la experiencia, pero ahora serán los mayores junto a los niños los que nos tiraremos también por las tirolinas.

(Translated by Google) I went with my partner for his birthday; it was our first time, and we had a great time. Ignacio was also super friendly and very attentive, explaining everything to us. In addition to the zip lines, there's a jump, which I highly recommend if you need an adrenaline rush. And there are many more activities for the kids. I highly recommend it! (Original) Fui con mi pareja por su cumpleaños, era nuestra primera vez y nos lo pasamos genial. Además, Ignacio fue super amable con nosotros y muy atento, explicándonos todo. Además de las tirolinas, tiene un salto, que si necesitas descargar adrenalina te lo recomiendo. Y para los niños muchas más actividades. Lo recomiendo 100%!!!!

(Translated by Google) Great experience, we had a great time. Highly recommended, comfortable and easy route. The best part is the three zip lines, two of which cross the river through the trees. We were treated wonderfully, very friendly and attentive. We will definitely come back in the future. (Original) Gran experiencia, nos lo hemos pasado genial. Totalmente recomendado, recorrido cómodo y fácil. Lo mejor son las tres tirolinas,dos de ellas cruzando el río entre árboles. Nos han tratado de lujo, muy amables y atentos.

(Translated by Google) An unforgettable day, a wonderful place in the middle of the countryside, perfectly maintained and with an environment that invites you to unwind. The paintball was very well organized, with equipment in excellent condition, and impeccable service from the host, Nacho, who was always attentive and friendly. An authentic, fun, and highly recommended experience. (Original) Día inolvidable, un lugar maravilloso en pleno campo, perfectamente cuidado y con un entorno que invita a desconectar. El paintball está muy bien organizado, con material en excelente estado y un trato impecable por parte del anfitrión Nacho, siempre atento y amable. Una experiencia auténtica, divertida y muy recomendable.

(Translated by Google) The activity was very enjoyable and fun. You can't tell if the owner is pulling your leg or not. He also opens a bag of balls without asking if you want them and then tries to charge you for them, claiming we had been warned, when we hadn't. Nice area for eating. (Original) La actividad muy agradable y divertida. El dueño no sabes si te está vacilando o no. Además te abre una bolsa de bolas sin preguntar si la quieres y luego te la intenta cobrar alegando que habíamos sido avisados cuando no fue así. Zona agradable para comer.

(Translated by Google) It is a cultural facility managed by the provincial council, and which originally housed the Provincial Institute of Hygiene. It has eight exhibition rooms on its two floors. It is worth stopping to observe the stained glass window dedicated to Santiago Ramón y Cajal, and the room of the old library of the place. It is very good, located in the center of León, very close to the post office, and offers interesting exhibitions, which are also free of charge. On my last visit I enjoyed two very different exhibitions and both of great interest, especially the exhibition by Jonathan Notario, which I recommend from here. (Original) Es un equipamiento cultural que gestiona de diputación provincial, y que en su origen albergó el Instituto Provincial de Higiene. Cuenta con ocho salas de exposiciones en sus dos plantas. Merece la pena detenerse a observar la vidriera dedicada a Santiago Ramón y Cajal, y la estancia de la antigua bibliotecadel lugar. Está muy bien, ubicado en el centro de León, muy cerca del eficio de correos, y ofrece interesantes exposiciones, que además son de entrada gratuita. En mi última visita disfruté de dos muestras muy diferentes y ambas de gran interés, en especial la exposición de Jonathan Notario, que desde aquí recomiendo

(Translated by Google) Current works by Leonese artists. We liked the visit and we will repeat to see the next exhibitions. It would be very good to provide explanations of the works of each artist. (Original) Obras actuales de artistas leoneses. Nos ha gustado la visita y repetiremos para ver las próximas exposiciones. Estaría muy bien poner explicaciones de las obras de cada artista.
