 León
is a town highly rich in traditions and historical past, and is widely
known throughout the entire country due to it, although it is a quiet and
tranquil spot most of the year. This town is located towards the central
area of Spain, within the region known as Castilla y León, and borders
with Asturias, Galicia, Zamora and Palencia.
| The history of the province
of León can be traced back to many centuries ago when Celtic tribes
would inhabit in this area. Some remains from such period of time have
been found within the region of León, being a clear sign of their
pass through it. From that époque on, this town has left many different
objects, constructions, and art works from many different periods and historical
events, many of them still available for visitors to meet them.
The Templar Knights are among
the most interesting inhabitants the town of León has had. This
inhabitants have left their mark spread throughout the city through several
interesting constructions such as fortifications and castles. Nowadays,
many of these fortifications and castles built by the Templar Knights during
the Middle Ages can be still visited and observed, being among the main
attractions of León. |

Another interesting attraction
this town offers is the chance of fishing trout. Every year people from
many different spots approach León in order to fish trout since
it is widely known due to the important amount of these fish that can be
found in this area and the propitious spots the town offers for practicing
this activity. This way, fishing is another fact by which León is
widely known throughout the region of León and Castilla as well
as in other regions.
Despite the interesting characteristics
and the variety of attractions León offers, it has managed to remain
a quiet place without receiving important amounts of tourists and without
becoming crowded at any time of the year. This characteristic can turn
this destination into an especially attractive one for those who enjoy
quiet spots where they could relax and walk around while enjoying the typical
environment that every local inhabitant would perceive.
