León - Old Town

To the south of the Diocesan Museum lies the arcaded Plaza Mayor, on the west side of which is the handsome twin-towered Old Town Hall (Consistorio Viejo) of 1677. The square has an appealing charm, particularly on market days, when it is a bustle of activity. Equally lively are the little streets of the old town leading to the Plaza de San Martín (with the 13th century church of San Martín) and the Plazuela de San Marcelo. An evening stroll around the old town can be pleasantly combined with a visit to some of the tapa bars with their variety of enticing appetisers.
