The Alto del Portillo provides your first view of León. The tradition at this point is to search the skyline for the spires of the cathedral — they're visible on a clear day, rising above the city like a beacon. The moment is more powerful than the modest height of the hill would suggest.

Unlikely landmark next to 'Flexsan Group', on the descent from Alto del Portillo. Lone home where a woman killed and dismembered her husband in 1975. The house is preserved and shut, you can identify it by the worn red paint on the ground floor.
