We did the Cathedral (Gothic) and yes, there was some yummy glass, the audio tour said its glass was on a par with Chatres. As always the photos don’t do justice to the beauty of the windows.
Fabulous glass, well worth a visit
Leon has a very understated Gaudy building, Casa de los Botines; it’s big but not particularly whacky, in fact if I hadn’t known it was a Gaudy I wouldn’t have guessed it was.
Casa de los Botines
We wandered along narrow Gothic alleyways and came across an amazing shop selling all the accoutrements for charcuterie making – sausage skins (intestines), string, etc.
This is so our kind of shop!
Whilst wandering we happened upon a non touristy area; lots of Spaniards were sitting around socialising outside cafes eating (tapas) and drinking and there was a vegetable market taking place in the square.
A 'real' market
