The Region
of León is a historic territory defined by the 1833 Spanish administrative
organisation.
The Leonese
region encompassed the provinces of Salamanca, Zamora, and León, now part of
the modern Spanish autonomous community of Castile and León.
As is the case
with other historical regions, and continuing with centuries of history, the
inhabitants of the Leonese region are still called Leonese.
There are
many colourful, interesting characters living in Léon; old Republicans and
resistance fighters, wolf hunters, poets…
A beautiful
article (in Spanish) on this website.
