Hostal San Martín: Shabby entrance, great interior!

Our travel book for Spain gave this such a high recommendation that I felt a bit disappointed on arrival, as I saw a lovely old building looking a bit neglected! The pension is on the second floor with a law office and private apartment below, with a mysterious, barred staircase to the attic floor!
Anyway any doubts were quickly dispelled as the couple who run it are professional and friendly and it's completely refurbished. On departure day they let us store our bags there as our bus to Madrid wasn't till 9pm.
We had room 8, which was HUGE, ensuite, with a view of a small plaza and it's cafe, plus a sweet little park complete with roman ruins! It's a five minute walk from the cathedral and there is a wonderful cafe for breakfast in the little alley next to the building.
Minor faults... the size of shower... not for plump people and I suspect two or three rooms might face into the scruffy interior courtyard.!

Unique Quality: We stayed at three pensions during our trip. This was the only one to provide handsoap and shower gel ;-)

Cuca La Vaina (Castrillo)

If you wanna spend some days in a rural atmosphere, in a refurbished old traditional house made of stone, surrounded by silence and endless prairies, in a pedestrian village... this is your place!
This little hotel is a good basecamp to explore the "Maragateria" region of Leon.
It has a nice back courtyard wherer you can have lunch under the shade of a grapevine in summer.

Unique Quality: I just came for a drink before lunch, but the place seemed charming and quiet to me.

Posada del Marques (Carrizo)

We stayed in a village near the capital, Carrizo de la Ribera. Here is an old house, owned by a nobleman of the area, now turned into a rural hostel and run by the family. It's got several double rooms, all different.
The garden in the backyard is charming and very nice in summer, with a little river crossing by.
The village around is not remarkable, but is a good basecamp tpo explore the area around.
No restaurant or bar, just bed & breakfast.

About 69 euros in low season I think.

The best option to stay in León is the Parador of San Marcos. The building itself is an old Renaissance hospital that has been declared national monument. The furniture in the rooms is demanding some renewal, but it is a very good place, sith impressive lounges and a beautiful cloister. Make sure you get a suite in what they call the 'ala noble', i.e. the old part of the building, because many rooms are in an annexed building which does not have any charm at all.

Castrojeriz has a beautiful campsite with lots of trees to shelter from the burning sun. The facilities are good and it's one of the few campsites in Spain where personnel speak English!
