leeds castleLeeds is considered one of the most active and lively of all England. It is located in the county of West Yorkshire, near the famous city of York. But this city has an incredible dynamic contrast, the tranquility of the countryside and streets of the city during the day and a night full of bars and nightclubs. The bright modern buildings of modern and contemporary architects are contrasted with marble and muted colors of historic buildings, creating a duality that gives a unique identity to the wonderful city of Leeds.

The weather is a bit counterproductive, since the rains are almost daily during the winter. Temperatures plummeted and we must be ever vigilant to take appropriate shelter. But again appears the hustle and bustle. Many students give life to the mornings and nights of Leeds, and there are a variety of tours through the historical center and surrounding rural villages.

The city has direct contact with other countries such as Spain, via commercial flights.
