The capital of the Old Kingdom of León surprises the traveler who approaches it for the first time, due to its admirable historical and artistic monuments -The Cathedral, San Marcos, San Isidoro, are the most universal-, which are integrated into a modern city full of landscaped squares, parks, fountains and wide avenues. This harmonious conjunction of venerable stones, steeped in history, with careful urban development with the environment and quality of life, makes the City of León a first-class destination for Cultural Tourism.
