Casa Botines

We will start in front of the most important monument of this city: its Cathedral. After turning it completely around, we will go to the oldest neighborhood of the city: the neighborhood of El Cid. The most emblematic building of this neighborhood is the Basilica of San Isidoro, the nerve center of the Kingdom of León, of which we will contemplate its facade. Before entering the other quarter of the historic center of León, we will take a look at the Roman wall, the Palacio de los Guzmanes and the Casa Botines, one of the only three buildings that Gaudí designed outside Catalonia. Already in the Barrio Húmedo, we will stroll through its streets and feel the aroma of the culinary delights prepared in the many taverns and restaurants. In this neighborhood we will discover two squares: the Plaza del Grano, the only square in the city that still retains its original cobblestones, and the Plaza Mayor, where we will end our visit.

We will start by visiting León Cathedral, one of the most impressive Gothic cathedrals in Spain. We will tour its interior and cloister, ending at its main façade. We will continue visiting the historic center of the city. From the Cathedral Square, we will enter the Barrio del Cid, the oldest neighborhood in the city. Within this neighborhood is the Basilica of San Isidoro, which we will view from the outside. Next, we will see the façade of the Casa Botines and the León Provincial Council, before entering the other neighborhood of the historic quarter: the Barrio Húmedo. Highlights of this neighborhood include the Plaza del Grano and the Plaza Mayor, where we will end our tour.
