The Paradores de Leon

Tuesday 10th June 2014

Our train trip back to Bilbao was at noon - so we had a whole morning to kill. I took the opportunity to walk along the Roman wall and went to see the Paradores de Leon. This was first built as a hospital and hostel for pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela. Today it is a museum, and a 5-star paradores. I could only take a peep at the inner courtyard of the hotel.
