A Day Trip to León

The first of May is Labor Day in Spain, and we didn't have classes, so Tucker and I took a little trip to León, which is just under 2 hours away by bus.

The main thing to see in León is the Cathedral and that was what we did first. Audio guides came with our admission fee, and I thought they were really good. The really cool aspect of this cathedral in particular is the stained glass windows. There are 1,800 square meters of stained glass!

Another landmark in León is a work by Gaudí, Casa de los Botines, which is now a bank.

One interesting aspect to the day was, since it was Labor Day, there were unions marching and holding rallies.

León is a really nice place to take a day trip and I'm glad we took the chance to go!
