If you're in León, don't miss out on this food tour which includes a visit to a shoe factory. Get stuck right in with the local culture and lifestyle.

Description

At the time indicated, we'll meet at Avenida del Tecnológico 308, where we'll start a very special tour around León.

Firstly, we'll visit a shoe factory. Here, we'll learn about the process of making shoes and the tradition and quality that characterise the shoe industry in León.

After touring the shoe factory, we'll head to the centre of León to admire some monuments. We'll pass the Arco de la Calzada, marking the entrance to the historic centre.

The next stop will be Templo Expiatorio, a neogothic church. Then, we'll go to the San Juan de Dios neighbourhood, known for cobbled streets and colourful colonial houses with artisanal shops and cafes.

Now it's time for the food part of the tour. We'll head to a bar famous for its guacamayas, a traditional dish from León that consists of a type of bread roll filled with pulled meat, sauce, and avocado.

To accompany the guacamaya, we'll enjoy a local drink called cebadina, made from fruit and herbs. To end our food tour, we'll visit an ice-cream parlour to try the so-called flavoured snow.

After 4 hours, we'll conclude this tour of León in the San Juan de Dios neighbourhood.
