Cecille's Creativity

Leon is a flourishing industrial city (population 210,000). It is tidy and prosperous looking, and the stores are well stocked with goods. A beautiful wide boulevard runs the length of the city. The trees that line the plaza are clipped and green, and ther is about the town something of the bustle and aggressiveness of some of our mid-western farm and manufacturing cities – which in fact, it parallels from a Mexican standpoint. The production of leather products is the chief industry, and this is a good place to shop for leather goods.

A few miles south of Leon and then 6 miles east on a blacktop road is the popular health resort of Camanjilla with thermal spring waters piped into large swimming pools and also into the bathtubs of the guest rooms.
