We are the Leonese company, number 1, in thematic visits and Free tours, both in León and in the province!
We start in the Eduardo Castro Square (in front of the Episcopal Palace), from where we will go to the Astorga Cathedral, where we will see its beautiful facades (exterior only) and we will talk about its origin and evolution. We will continue to contemplate the Episcopal Palace (exterior only), in which the young Catalan architect, Antonio Gaudí, will leave his neo-Gothic mark. A little later, some beautiful graffiti await us, and we will learn about the history of the Monument of the Sites. Already in the Plaza de España, we will stop at the City Hall building, to observe the figures of Juan Zancuda and Colasa playing the bells, and we will tell you where to have tapas in the Plaza Mayor. A few meters away, is the Sanctuary of Fátima (it will be visited whenever possible). We will walk through the renovated Gardens of the Synagogue, until we reach an ancient Roman domus, where we will make a short stop. Crossing the Roman ergastula we will find ourselves in the Plaza Mayor, where we will end our Free Tour.
