León!!!



Arrived in the City of León--Capital and largest city of the Province of León--in the evening of Saturday, 8th March, going out for a bit of a boogie, and then being given a tour the next day! City itself is most famous for its Cathedral and the stained glass within, and for the Monastery of San Marcos, now a luxury parador (i.e. a converted historical building--such as a palace or monastery--where you stay!).

Provisions for breakfast in the hostel! :)
