The Romantic Quarter breathes poetry, you can taste the delicious tapas Leonese in one of the most friendly environments of the city. Between El Cid Park and the Collegiate Church of San Isidoro, traditional bars and inns are mixed with old bookstores, art shops and other traditional shops. In this area, the writers of the city make a literary tour during the Feasts of San Juan and San Pedro, which adds more color, if possible, to a neighborhood plagued with culture.
The generous tradition of León indicates that, when ordering a wine, acaña, a short or a chato, the bars of the city offer a tapa, a smallgastronomic gift to accompany the drink tasting a typical product, orsome refined gourmet creation, at no additional cost.
The origin of the custom is diffuse, but without a doubt it is a sign of identity of the Leon hospitality. It is custom that the noons and at dusk, the streets of the city are overwhelmed with people who go for tapas, visiting the bars and inns of the different zones of the city of Leon.
