Workation in León: the essentials
Roman legionaries founded León around 29 BC, and the city later became the seat of a medieval kingdom. Today about 120,000 people live between the Bernesga and Torío rivers, close to the stained glass of the Gothic cathedral, Gaudí's Casa Botines and the painted vaults of San Isidoro. In the Barrio Húmedo bars serve a free tapa with each drink, and the Camino de Santiago brings walkers through town for much of the year. A university and a few coworking spaces add to daily life, and high-speed trains reach Madrid in about two hours, while the airport, about 7 km out, has few flights. At around 840 m, winters are long and cold.
