Shopping tourism in Leon

- León
Buying genuine, high-quality Leonese items is an experience that brings you closer to the essence of this land.
In the Val de San Lorenzo the merchant heritage of the Maragato muleteers is combined with the manufacture of pure virgin wool, making it possible to buy blankets and all types of handmade garments. Something similar happens in Jiménez de Jamuz, preserving the pottery tradition, in addition to offering the experience of knowing and participating in the manufacturing process in the Alfar Museum.
In the capital it is possible to purchase magnificent pieces of jewelry with modern and exclusive designs, but made in a completely artisanal way. As an artisan, it is the process of making objects and documents of the purest medieval art, faithful to the rich history of the city, which can be found in the Romantic neighborhood.
