The capital of the province of the same name, Leon is an ancient town steeped in history. With a small population and a pleasant, cosy feel Leon is perfect for those with families looking to escape the hustle and bustle. Its origins date back to the period of Roman invasion, and this can be seen in the fortifications that are built around the city. It bears the influences of the Latin towns on which is was modelled.

The host of alternative amenities include various galleries and museums, which include exhibitions hosted by the Fundacion Vela Zanetti. The Palace Don Gutierre is also one of the most interesting buildings in the town, and is a great stopping point for a visit. The Romanesque Cathedral and the Palace of Ordono are additional structures which are equally impressive on a walking tour. With their Gothic influence, they present yet another side of Leon for tourists to explore.
