Leôn (Santiago de Compostela 3-8-08)


The building with the colored windows is the contemporary art museum that I wasn´t all that fond of, and the plaza-building picture is what is known as a parador. A parador is a historically si gnificant five-star hotel that people pay lots of money at to get the historical and hospitable experience that every tourist wants.

Above are the amazing pastries that we found in Leôn. Look at that chocolate filling and drizzle...

I´m being represented in Leôn by a store! I´m lovin´it...:)


Leôn was a little bit chillier than I would have liked, hence the winter coat, but I braved a couple pictures without it. The one with the clock, ya I couldn´t feel my hand for several minutes after that because the metal was so cold.
This city is famous for its stained glass. We went in the morning to see this cathedral, but it wasn´t all that bright, so we went back in the afternoon as well. This time the light was coming in perfectly and lit up the whole cathedral with beautiful colors.

After we left Leôn we headed home, and the stop we made on the way was to Cocoa Castle (at least I think that´s how you spell it). So we went and played around taking pictures and stuff before we had to get back on the bus to go home. I don´t know, it doesn´t really look like cocoa to me...
