With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that Leon, 25 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with Leon Cathedral, Convento de San Marcos and San Isidro Basilica. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Oviedo, 30 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Oviedo Cathedral. (But we’d also highly recommend Oviedo City Hall and Calle Uria.)
