It's the medieval heart of the city where you can go short and taste the famous tapas of Leon. You can stroll through the narrow streets that invite you to be carried away by the large number of shops for the purchase of typical products and old taverns that are concentrated in this area. After dinner, the Barrio Húmedo also becomes the walking area par excellence, with numerous pubs and discos for all tastes and audiences.
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 it is undoubtedly a sign ofidentity of the Leonese hospitality. It is customary that at midday andat dusk, the streets of the city are filled with people who go for tapas, visiting the bars and inns of the different areas of the city of Leon.
