Introducing León

If you are into bargain shopping, then León is a purchaser’s paradise. This industrial city, 56km west of Guanajuato, is on the Mexican map for its massive leather industry: shoes, saddles and everything in between. It has a long history of supplying goods: in the 16th century it was the center of Mexico’s ranching district, providing meat for the mining towns and processing hides. It has a small but attractive historic center with a lovely plaza.
