We again are in a city centre during a festival and its Saturday. There really is nothing like a Spainish street party. Live music, people everywhere, tons of energy. This party seems to have less drinking than the last one so it might not get so crazy.
We are not here to party we went to a church and a museum.
The Cathedral of Leon is an early gothic temple built in the 13th century. We have seen a lot of churches but this one still managed to be astonishing. It has a very interesting history and is beautiful from the outside but that's not what makes it special. The 800 year old stained glass windows is what sets it apart. We took pictures but it's just not like being there.
We also went to Museo de San Isidoro. At long last my quest to find the Holy Grail is over. It has been in Leon all this time.
Home of the Holy Grail.
They have lots of cool stuff there too but the most interesting to me was the library. They have an impressive collection of books hand written by monks. No pictures allowed.
