Historic halfway point on the Spanish pilgrimage route

Spain Westward Journey ~ León (Region) Over time, León became the capital of a medieval kingdom, a historical halfway point on the Santiago de Compostela Pilgrimage Route and a city that was very welcoming to its inhabitants. The incredible natural landscapes of the province will take us to the Picos de Europa National Park, the Las Médulas region (World Heritage Site) and the winter resort of San Isidro. The quality and variety of León's gastronomy are unmatched and it is a cultural and leisure activity. Roman Legion VII Gemina Pia Felix preserves an interesting Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance heritage, a result of medieval splendor. The Plaza Mayor is the heart of the city, with the Bernesca River running through it. In the middle of this Baroque complex stands the Town Hall, popularly known as the "balcony of the city" because the nobility could observe the town's activities from its gallery. #JanuaryDestinations2025 #SpainTravel #CastileandLeón
