I'm starting with this section in which ill try to introduce you a place that is not very known like capitals or places with important landmarks. Well this week is going to be Leon that is on northern Spain. This city is where most part of my Spanish family come from. Its a small city with a population of no more than 140,000 inhabitants. When I go with my friends there and I tell them that I live in a city of 3,000,000 people they really get freaked out they just cant believe it. The province is called Castilla and Leon and well obviously the capital city is Leon. As main landmarks there is the cathedral that is a truly work of art. For surprise of some people there is a building that is called "casa de los botones" house of buttons in english. That building was designed by Gaudi the same architect that designed the "sagrada familia" in Barcelona. Ill upload some pictures of the landmarks,most of them will be taken by me. Its a great city to explore. Ill also talk about the region, most people in Leon come from smaller villages so every holiday (except for winter because of the snow) the city goes empty. In the summer there is a great weather and party. Hope you enjoy this section and also any comments will be accepted.
