==Cuisine== '''''Embutidos''''' * ''[[Cecina (meat)|Cecina de León]]'': from beef. In the [[Leonese language]], ''cecina'' means "meat that has been salted and dried by means of air, sun or smoke". ''Cecina de León'' is made of the hind legs of beef, salted, smoked and air-dried in the province of León, and has [[Protected designation of origin|PGI]] status. * ''[[Botillo]]'': from pig. Traditionally made in the western Leonese regions, ''botiellu'' in Leonese or ''botelo'' in Galician, is a dish of meat-stuffed pork intestine. It is a culinary specialty of the county of [[El Bierzo]] and also of the region of [[Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro|Trás-os-Montes]] in Portugal. This type of ''[[embutido]]'' is a meat product made from different pieces left over from the butchering of a pig, including the ribs, tail, and bones with a little meat left on them. These are chopped; seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, and other spices; stuffed in the cecum of the pig; and partly cured via smoking. It can also include the pig's tongue, shoulder blade, jaw, and backbone, but never exceeding 20% of the total volume. It is normally consumed cooked, covered with a sheet. In some parts of the province, specially close to [[Orbigo]] river it's also known as Yosco. It has PGI status. '''Cheese''' * ''Queso de Valdeón ([[Valdeón cheese]])'': a blue cheese produced in Posada de Valdeon, traditionally wrapped in chestnut or sycamore maple leaves before being sent to market. '''Wines''' * ''[[Bierzo (DO)|Bierzo]]'': in the west of the province of León and covers about 3,000 km<sup>2</sup>. The area consists of numerous small valleys in the mountainous part (Alto Bierzo) and of a wide, flat plain (Bajo Bierzo). The ''[[denominación de origen]]'' covers 23 municipalities. * ''[[Tierra de León (DO)|Tierra de León]]'': in the southeast of the province of León. '''Sweets''' * [[Mantecadas de Astorga]] * [[Hojaldres]] de [[Astorga, Spain|Astorga]] * Lazos de San Guillermo * Nicanores de [[Boñar]]
