Advantages: Great action movie Disadvantages: none
Director: Luc Besson
Producer: Patrice Ledoux
Writer: Luc Besson
Stars: Jean Reno, Gary Oldman, Natalie Portman and Danny Aiello
This French directed action/drama movie was released toward the end of 1994 and was a simple tale of a quiet man who happened upon the wrong place at the wrong time.
**BRIEF PLOT**
Leon, (played by Jean Reno) is a mild mannered French man living in New York City's 'little Italy'. Unbeknown to all around him he is secretly a professional hit man, (or cleaner) working for the local Mafia boss Tony, (played by Danny Aiello), who uses a 'Macaroni' retail store to front his small empire.
Leon has only one friend, which happens to be a houseplant, until he inadvertently opens his door one day and his peaceful existence changes forever.

Advantages: Great location, comfortable rooms Disadvantages: Not many facilities
The director of the hotel himself describes the Husa Meson Castilla as 'a simple two star hotel, but for those who are watching their budget, it is not only moderately priced, but also well located and offers an old-world ambience'. I would agree whole heartedly with this statement, but don't be put off by the lack of more stars. As you may know, stars are awarded for facilities in a hotel and not the standard of the rooms, etc. Whilst this hotel doesn't have masses of facilities, it does offer better-than-average comfort at very affordable prices.

The location is perfect. Just down a well-lit and fairly buzzing side street off the Ramblas, it's a mere five minute walk to the centre of the action. The nearest underground train station is at the top of the Ramblas (probably an extra two minutes walk) and is called ...
Advantages: Architecture, history and authentic Spanish feel Disadvantages: A long road from home
León is a city and district in Northwest Spain, far from being typical English tourist territory. But this is where the Spanish tourists from the South of Spain come ! They know what is good for them!
GETTING THERE
=
The only port you are likely to use from UK is the port of Santander, and you will have a day's drive to get to León.
Airports that will speed you to León are Oviedo or Bilbao.
You could drive up from Madrid, but even the Spanish do not seem to relish that length of drive.
We drove from Oviedo in Asturias, where we were staying - reviews already written on Asturias and Picos De Europa.
It was a pleasant jaunt on the motorway - about 2 hours drive.
MAIN ATTRACTIONS

The CATHEDRAL dominates the skyline.
The darkness at door level, leads into a massive space inside which is ...
