Refreshing León’s wine scene over typical city tours
Every traveler visiting León has the Cathedral of León high on their must-see list. It’s a magnificent piece of Gothic architecture that dazzles with centuries-old stained glass. However, the lines here can stretch around the block, and shoulder-to-shoulder crowds tend to dilute its spiritual charm.
Although the beauty of the León Cathedral is undeniable, your experience may involve more jostling for space than some prefer. With visitors snapping selfies and tour groups vying for spots, the opportunity for quiet reflection is sparse. While it visually impresses, the overall experience might leave you longing for something more personal.
