Geography of León

León unfolds from the cereal plateau to the Cantabrian Range in the north and the Montes de León in the west, which shelter the mild region of El Bierzo. The climate is continental, milder and wetter in the Bierzo, where chestnuts and vineyards thrive. Oak woods, mountain heath and scrub make León one of the most fire-prone provinces in Spain, with devastating episodes such as those of summer 2022. Fun fact: Las Médulas, a former Roman gold mine, is a World Heritage landscape.
