Images of León
Three years ago, in December of 2019, Rebe and I took a trip up north, to Léon and Asturias. Though I have already written a post about those two areas, my first visit was brief—and in any case I did not have a decent camera back then. It is with much apology, therefore, that I upload these belated photos of what was a thoroughly lovely holiday.

GREAT piece, Roy. Glad you got there! Thanks for reawakening my own memories of Leon through your words and pictures. Yes, the cathedral and the Romanesque pantheon are both unforgettable. The simple, elegant, and well-proportioned Plaza Mayor was a favorite, too — especially when illuminated at night and in the early morning. Did you get to Leon’s parador? For me, the cloister there is another of the city’s gems . . .

Thanks for reading! This time around I didn’t manage to see the parador, but I did on my first visit. It is a lovely place.
