About León

León began as a Roman military camp and later became the capital of the medieval Kingdom of León. It is also a major stop on the Camino de Santiago, and its Gothic cathedral and Romanesque basilica make it one of northern Spain's richest historic cities. Its lively Barrio Húmedo is known for free tapas.

TravelDaddy verdictPure northern Spain, with a Gothic crown.

A practical first trip balances the must-sees with one unscheduled half-day.
