Basílica de San Isidoro

Basilica
Sights & Landmarks
The Basílica de San Isidoro is a captivating Romanesque and Gothic-style church and museum situated on the site of an ancient Roman temple dedicated to Mercury. It is dedicated to Saint Isidore of Seville, a former archbishop whose remains are enshrined within. The basilica is renowned for its collection of sacred relics, medieval treasures, and ancient books.
Absolutely stunning cathedral with an interesting history. It's not expensive, but when you scan the QR code, you can listen to its history from your phone as you walk around it, which is an excellent idea! You can not fail to miss the basilica as it is situated in the middle of Leon, surrounded by a plaza with cafes and shops. The basilica was wonderfully cool inside, which is welcome in 35°C heat.

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.
Nanita — Google review
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
Anonguiri — Google review
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.

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.

Convento de San Marcos

Mentioned on 
+9 other lists 
Convent
Sights & Landmarks
Convento de San Marcos is a grand Gothic-style church built in the 16th century, featuring an elaborate Plateresque facade. Located in Leon, a city rich in cultural attractions and historic landmarks such as the Cathedral, Roman Walls, and Basilica of San Isidoro. As a stop on the Pilgrim's Road to Santiago de Compostela, Leon offers a blend of history and modern amenities.
This church and convent building has a very impressive facade. The convent has been converted into a 5 star hotel by Parador. Only hotel customers can enter that side of the building that was the convent. However, the church on the right hand side of the building can be visited by public and it also houses a collection of artwork that is on display. The cloister is open to public also. This is also a must visit place while you are in 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.
Olga S — Google review
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.
Bertalan F — Google review
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.

Casa Botines

Mentioned on 
+9 other lists 
Museum
Historical place museum
Art Museums
Casa Botines is a striking modernist building in Leon, Spain, designed by the legendary architect Antoni Gaudi. Constructed between 1891 and 1892, it was originally intended as a residential and commercial space. The edifice showcases Gaudi's unique style, blending neo-Gothic influences with his signature modernist touch. Today, Casa Botines serves as a museum displaying Spanish paintings and houses the FUNDOS art collection spanning from the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries.
Casa Botines is one of Gaudi’s modernist masterpieces that happens to be outside of his native Catalunya. Originally build in 1892 for apartments and commercial space (on the ground and lower ground floors), Casa Botines is now a museum that houses artifacts from its heyday and also works of art. While it is a bit subdued compared to some of the genius architect Gaudi’s other works, the museum and the tour are well worth it. Highly recommend especially for those who appreciate modernist architect and Gaudi in particular.
Nanita — Google review
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!
Tanio C — Google review
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.
Linda B — Google review
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.
Nirav D — Google review
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
Alina M — Google review
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.

León Cathedral

Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
León Cathedral, a grand Gothic structure dating back to the 1400s, stands as the spiritual heart of León. Its soaring towers, flying buttresses, and stunning interior make it a premier Gothic masterpiece in Spain. The cathedral's facade boasts a radiant rose window, richly sculpted doorways, and two imposing towers. Inside, visitors can admire an extraordinary collection of stained-glass windows.
Stunning. An incredible cathedral, very easy to just get lost in the beauty and grandeur of it all when touring the interior. You can get that same sense of awe and wonder on the outside as well, but inside is truly majestic. Do not miss this when you are anywhere near Leon.
Jaded G — Google review
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 .

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.
Linda B — Google review
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!

Palacio De Los Guzmanes is a must-see attraction in Leon, Spain. This grand Renaissance building, constructed in the 16th century for the influential Guzman family, now serves as the seat of the provincial government. After being purchased and restored by the government in 1882, it has become a symbol of pride for the city. The palace stands adjacent to Casa Botines and showcases stunning architecture that attracts visitors to take photos or explore its interior.
Super pretty. Couldn’t do the tour cause of vacations? But the guard let us in to see the patio. Very very pretty.

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.
Un V — Google review
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.

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.

Archaeological museum
The Museo de León is a history museum located in the region of Castilla y Leon, showcasing a wide array of archaeological artifacts, art pieces, and coins that date back to the Bronze and Iron Ages. One of its unique collections features ancient artifacts from the Roman gold-mining site at Las Medulas. The museum offers interactive exhibits for kids and guided tours for visitors to learn about the city's rich history, from its Roman origins to modern developments.
Wonderful value for only 1 euro. Solid translations into English give the visitor a good introduction to local Leonese history from prehistory to the 20th century. Expect to see compact yet insightful exhibitions on ancient crafts and trade, ancient currencies and tombstones, medieval and early modern religious art, artifacts of daily life from all periods concerned, etc. Totally worth at least an hour or two.

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.

(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

Ezequiel Calle Ancha

$$$$affordable
Bar & grill
Spanish restaurant
Ezequiel Calle Ancha, a vibrant and bustling bar and grill in the old city of Segovia, is known for its hearty regional fare, including tapas and hearty raciones (a large serving of food). It also has a robust wine list and a terrace. The service here is great, and it can be hard to fight your way to the bar upstairs. However, it's worth doing so for the generous-sized raciones.
Just had the best steak ever! So tender it melted like butter in the mouth. Partners pork dish was also just as good. Great service and a lively atmosphere! Absolutely recommend!

The restaurant is very lively, with the bar in the front, there were a few tables at the back that’s for pilgrims. There were complimentary beef tongue to start, the plate of meat and sausages was really good, lots of flavours and goes well with the Rioja red wine. Would love to try the full size beef steak next time!

Best idea to come over here. They gave us two bottles of wine with our menu del dia, an extra bottle of water, a surging of bread and yet only paid for the two menus. I love every bit of it. Lucky Leon to have this gem.
Monica P — Google review
Largely tourists, but some locals as well. We were seated right away, but inside, which was slightly depressing compared to the terrace. Service friendly and attentive. Food was ok. Definitely not the best steak I ever had, and definitely did not "melt in mouth," as other reviewers have commented. One steak came out incredibly fast (the entrecote), and was cooked precisely as I ordered it. But it was tough and over salted. The sirloin took forever to come out. So long in fact, I was finished with the entrecote and the sirloin had not even arrived. When it did finally come out, it was vastly undercooked. Extra rare when it was ordered medium well. So it had to go back. 15 minutes later, it was still undercooked. We dealt with it and moved on. All in all, just ok.

One of the busiest restaurants in town, after a long walk of the Camino we arrived to town and we were naive by thinking we could just get it, but the host was very kind and friendly and he offered us the first table in the evening, although all was reserved few days ahead he gave us a table. The service is very nice and warm and the food is amazing as well, even if we couldn’t speak well Spanish the waitress tried to speak in English as well. Next time I’ll be in town I’ll reserve ahead and will come back there for more.

Nice restaurant located in the heart of Leon to experience Asturianismo cuisine. We ordered the menu, which was 20 something euros. The service was serviceable, and the food came in a timely manner. The stew was the highlight from the meal; everything else was decent. Both the flan cremoso and arroz con leche were good for dessert.

I’d read that sweetbreads were a speciality of Leon and saw that Casa Mando had it on their menu. Walked in and was greeted by the manager who was able to seat me even though they were busy, very grateful for this. I ordered the chilled garlic and smoked eel soup as a starter. The soup was very smooth with a generous amount of smoked eel, a great starter for a warm day. After this I had the sweetbreads stew. If you enjoy offal this is a great dish and would recommend it. I had a great lunch and would happily recommend the restaurant.

We visited Casa Mando in July 2020 as we were returning from Asturias and decided to make a stop in Leon. We ordered some classic Spanish food: Pork “patitas” with chickpeas and solomillo with vegetables. Food quality was amazing, and temperature of dishes was perfect. If you try Pork “patitas” just enjoy the creaminess and after-throat sensation that the sauce leaves. Simply magical!

This restaurant is a part of the hotel. For hotel food its good but not great if you want to have a restaurant quality meal. The monkfish was the best thing we ate the rest was very bland and uninspiring. The avocados were brown, pepper puree with the pulpo was like glue and the chocolate cake was very underwhelming.

Restaurante Cocinandos

Mentioned on 
+1 other list 
$$$$expensive
Fine dining restaurant
Restaurante Cocinandos is a stylish dining spot with a hacienda-inspired setting and a patio. Located in the Casa del Peregrino of the former convent of San Marcos, this restaurant offers market-driven tasting menus with wine pairings. The menu, called Los Siete Caminos, changes weekly based on available produce at the market.
I was here in June while I was walking the Camino. It was a rest day and I was exploring the amazing city. Dressed in dirty clothes and with my huge backpack, the chef and the waitress still showed great hospitality and amazing service. I was greeted me at the door and I believe it was the head chef explained the idea behind their restaurant and the tasting menu, which is taking various ingredients throughout Spain, the freshest at the time and place them on the menu. Each dish is an art piece, full of surprises and flavour. The wine pairing is also a must! Amazing wines to pair with each course, which enhances and elevates the taste. Will definitely be back again in the future!

From the moment you walk in, the warm and modern ambiance sets the tone for a relaxed yet sophisticated meal.

Impeccable service. Inventive n tasty dishes. Highly recommended.

The food is as amazing as you'd expect of a Michelin star restaurant and cheaper than expected. The wine pairing is delicious and local with good explanation. At €26 or so it's really great value! The menu changes every couple of weeks so you can always expect something new. I've been several times and will continue to return.

If you're looking for a delicious European-Mediterranean restaurant with good service and plenty of options, then head to Becook. This down-to-earth spot offers seafood dishes as well as lasagna and rice plates, making it perfect for all kinds of eaters. Plus, there's free WiFi and a fully bar staff on hand to make sure everyone enjoys their meal.
We had a delicious lunch on New Year’s Eve. We did email without response but got lucky with a table for two. The atmosphere is unpretentious and the food excellent. Little English is spoken but the staff are polite and helpful. We chose three plates to share and all were perfectly designed and prepared. In short there is excellent value for money here and a delicious experience to be enjoyed.

This restaurant has some good dishes and is definitely a good place for a special occasion. The fusion kitchen style is well executed, with some dishes being a bit too complicated or trying to hard for my taste. But all in all an interesting experience and worth a try! The prices are high but I guess you pay for the experience as well. The staff is attentive but not very friendly.

It was our second attempt to get into Becook. Booking is a real challenge, they do not answer email or their WhatsApp. Finally one of my colleagues from Spain booked on the phone (English of the waiter is basic). Finally we got in. The food is superb, creative, balanced. It was a real culinary pleasure. Strongly recommend the crème brûlée from fois gras, and from the deserts the gin tonic sorbet. Outstanding price/value ratio and real food fun. Do not even try to get there without booking, it is full.

The “Perfect” Salmon was one of the most disgusting dishes I’ve ever eaten. Salmon with the consistency and temperature of last nights oatmeal. The rice was hard, poorly matched flavors and all topped by a puddle of oil.

I asked for a lasagna, I got a "new age lasagna" or something like that. It was extremely dry, and was not at all what I was expecting. My suggestion will be that if you put the name of a traditional dish you mention how that dish was modified. If I would have known what I was getting I wouldn't have asked for it.

The restaurant is a perfect spot for sharing a variety of dishes with friends, including niguiri, pasta, rice dishes, gilda skewers, cod, and aged beef sirloin. The terrace opens at 2pm and stays open until 0.30am but tends to get crowded quickly so booking early is recommended.

Disappointing experience. Views are great and our starter was very nice but the veal main was chewy and overcooked. Couldn’t eat half of it and although the manager apologised I was still charged the full amount. The fish was nice although contained some bones.

First of all, I would like to point out the terrible, unacceptable length of the waiter's (or hostess's, don’t know exactly what he was doing constantly near waiters, it seems was helping them) nails, Pablo's. It's horrible and shameful if you allow staff with such nails to serve people. The second thing I would like to point out is the absolutely poor level of the cuisine. We took tuna tartare and, apart from the spiciness, we didn't feel anything at all. It shouldn't be like that. We also took the tongue and it was old, not at all fresh. They barely grated the cheese. Then we wanted to order two cocktails. As it turned out, it was impossible to order either a negroni or a caipirinha, or most of what's on the menu. With all this, the prices look pretentious. The only good thing about this place is the view of the city.

Excellent food, however, the bill (la cuenta) was totally incorrect. We were charged twice for at least half our meals. When we queried the bill, the waitress seemed angry and rude, and also didn't even ask what was wrong, which to me seems that they knowingly gave us an incorrect bill,which is very dishonest. This left a very bad taste for us, despite the amazing food. I would recommend this place for sure, but be sure to check the cost at the end.

Horrible service. Mechanical and rude service. We came for some food and drinks. We asked if they had a couple of Tapas they have on the menu and the barman said NO, only Olives, Chips and Salmorejo. After some time I see other people getting the Garlic soup and other things. So I really didn't get this type of discrimination on what you can order. Leon is full of Tapas bars... don't waste your time here and go somewhere else.

My favorite thing about this place is the atmosphere. It’s nostalgic in that the decorations, bar, and staff uniforms seem to come out of a time from Spain’s past. They serve the best rice tapa in town. I come here every time I’m in Leon. It’s also where many locals go, which means it’s good!

La Mary is a Spanish restaurant with an interesting menu that includes options like caprese salad (with real buffalo mozzarella) and seafood with imaginative sides like broccoli puree.

Marco should be congratulated for his efforts in serving quality wine to guests from abroad.
This is a really run restaurant with delicious food and professional, friendly, enthusiastic waiters. All of our dishes were excellent from starters to mains to dessert and coffee.

Greeted by disinterested staff bordering on rude. With no English menu, there was no aid provided by the staff. Google translate helped, but is clumsy and time consuming. The eventual order was taken with obvious displeasure. The food thankfully was pleasing though nothing extraordinary or indeed overly interesting. The scallops were well prepared, the oxtail and Angus beef soft and tasty but overall a disappointment, wait staff aloof for no discernible reason. An unfortunate start to our Camino. If you have some Spanish maybe they'll be more helpful...

I was welcomed here Easter Sunday, and had the Menú del Día. First course I had chorizo croquetas, which were served hot with good cheese flavor and a crispy, chewy crust. For pizza I had the SICILIANA - Tomate, mozzarella, bacón, cebolla, gambas, chiles, nata, ajo y albahaca. This is a little spicy, with good flavors of the onion and shrimp.

Located just 10 kilometers northeast of the city center, this small yet welcoming airport offers a calm atmosphere for travelers. While it has limited international connections, those arriving from outside Spain may need to connect through larger airports like Madrid-Barajas or Barcelona-El Prat before reaching their destination.

Kind of slow for the size.

(Translated by Google) León Airport is tiny, and that's a huge advantage for me. Everything is quick and easy: you arrive, park without any problems (plus, parking is free), and in just two steps you're in the terminal. Baggage check can be a bit slow, but it's nothing like the endless lines at larger airports. It's spacious, comfortable, and stress-free; it doesn't have a bar, but it does have vending machines to tide you over. Overall, it's a pleasure to fly from here because everything is simple and stress-free. Highly recommended. (Original) El aeropuerto de León es pequeñito, y eso para mí es una gran ventaja. Todo es rápido y fácil: llegas, aparcas sin problemas (además el parking es gratuito) y en dos pasos ya estás en la terminal. El control de equipaje puede ir un pelín lento, pero nada que ver con las colas eternas de aeropuertos grandes. Es un espacio amplio, cómodo y sin agobios; no tiene bar, pero sí máquinas de vending para salir del paso. En general, da gusto volar desde aquí porque todo resulta sencillo y sin estrés. Muy recomendable.
