Information
The emblem of the city of León is its cathedral, the most perfect representation of Gothic architecture in Spain.
World famous are its stained-glass windows, of which some original pieces survive. Other points of interest are the Real Colegiata, the Palacio de los Guzmanes, its Plaza Mayor and the collection of churches, convents, mansions and palaces in its historic centre.
The province of León is also home to several natural areas where hiking enthusiasts can enjoy a wide range of routes. Small trails for beginners and long-distance trails for more experienced hikers, historical trails such as that at Cañada Real and nature trails such as the Ruta Romana del Oro and the Valle de Arbás.
Environment
The Hostal San Marcos is another of León's iconic buildings, due to its architecture and history. Closely linked to the Order of Santiago, of which it was the seat, Francisco de Quevedo was imprisoned in it. It is the most important Renaissance building in the country and is notable for its impressive Plateresque façade and the cloister in its interior.
The province of León offers first-class options tourists, from the famous Médulas to the Valporquero Caves, not to mention the architectural heritage around Sahagún and Tierra de Campos and the area of Astorga. You can also visit the Picos de Europa National Park, enjoy the Camino de Santiago (Way of Santiago), whose longest route is in the province, or make an excursion through the areas around the rivers Bernesga, Torío, Porma and Curueño.
