Hola my friends! It feels good to be back. After 24 hrs travel time we had a much needed rest in our Hostal Boccalino and spent today exploring the city. 

Leon City – pop: 130,000, alt 840 m, at one time a Roman military garrison and base for its VII Legion. Later conquered by Visigoth, Moor and finally Christian forces.

Have a good time on the second half. Leon looks nice with not to many people.
