Leon October 15 Rest day Day 23

Stayed here an extra day

Rained the entire time we were here but we tried to make the best of it. Pictures of Barry’s Irish Pub. Bartender not from Ireland but Holland. Opens up at 1500 and closes at 6am. Does not play Irish music.
The Gothic Catedral de Santa María de León was inspired by the cathedral of Reims, in northern France. It was built, beginning in the 13t century, on top of the original Romanesque cathedral which was built on a palace erected by King Ordoño II, which was in turn built on top of public baths from the Roman era. The 1,800m² of stained glass represents humankind’s supremacy on earth with depictions of paradise, flora and fauna, saints, biblical stories, hunting scenes, etc.
