With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up all that Leon, 30 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area starting with Leon Cathedral, Convento de San Marcos and San Isidro Basilica. The locals are also likely to point you toward Oviedo, 30 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, make sure it’s Oviedo Cathedral. (But we’d also recommend Oviedo City Hall and Calle Uria.)
