Caminar ala medieval

I am really starting to get annoyed by this fact. I think it's ridiculous and very unfair that admirers of history and art, and tourists, cannot take visual  memories home with them. and show them to their friends and family.

Leon

I devoted the whole day to wandering along Leon's streets and visiting its sights. I like its streets very much, perhaps even a bit more then those of Burgos. they are not so posh, with many smaller and more welcoming houses. I visited the cathedral's stained glass (no pictures) - I was glad it still had the same tranquil, and magnificent at the same time, appeal I remember - and its museum (no pictures) with the biggest chest I have ever seen (12C). and san isodoro's beautifully frescoed panteon with unicorns for capitals (no pictures, but that is reasonable, as frescoes get damaged) and its museum with a big golden rooster from its pulpit (no pictures); at least it was free today. and the 16C palacio de guzmanes, of one of the two major rival families of Leon, the other being quinones (amazingly we could take pictures here). I took a walk along Leon's romanesque walls with round towers, and took a peek at the curious circular roman wall-cum-tunnel. I was surprised by the number of green areas around the historical centre.

take care!
