[Gocamino] Voyage of discovery: 48 hours in and around León .. and others

[Grant Spangler]

A series of British video travelogues on Spain. Makes you wanna drop everything and go.

Voyage of discovery: 48 hours in and around León
This gem in Spain's north-west is off the map for many UK visitors - but it's at the heart of one of Spain's most fascinating provinces. Simon Calder works his way through the layers of the city's ancient heritage, then heads to Astorga - a town with 2,000 years of history of its own (as well as a tasty chocolate museum)

Spain: Twin Track: a trail of Two Train Travellers
Northern Spain boasts some of Europe's most beautiful railway lines - and one of the greatest luxury trains. The toss of a coin decides whether Ben Ross or Simon Calder will indulge aboard El Cantabrico, while the other takes the budget option. But whatever the outcome, both will get to enjoy the rich heritage, countryside and shorelines of "Green Spain".
