This building was built to serve as home for the officers of the Air military base and it is also another example of post-war architecture very characteristic of Franco´s regime.
 And next to it

An official building from the same period as the two previous shots, now it serves as the office in León for the central government.

Thank you guys, all those picks were taken in the last weeks, and the weather conditions were not the best... Even though it is a very dry winter, we got some cloudy days and temperatures dropped. Still, I had fun taking them

This is the Music Temple. As a child I remember many Sunday mornings in which the municipal band gave classical music concerts. Sadly nowadays this nice tradition is lost

There are also nice example of, for me, wonderful rationalistic architecture. In my opinion, this is the best one

An interesting building that was a present to the city from the family of Pablo Flórez, an intellectual from the XIXth century. It is a place carried out by nuns to take care of old people. It has a nice small garden with ducks, a caharacteristic used by many to refer to the building. Unfortunately no pictures of them, it was very cold and they probably went to get some cover...
(Note the tiles in the benches, they represent leonese monuments)
