Bolos leoneses, Traditional bowling game in León Province, Spain
Players roll a semi-spherical wooden ball weighing between 800 and 1000 grams down a 30-meter lane to knock down nine large pins and one smaller pin.
The game developed throughout León Province as a social activity during agricultural gatherings and celebrations, becoming a symbol of regional sports traditions.
Regular tournaments bring communities together in designated bowling areas called boleras, where participants compete following specific rules and scoring patterns.
The playing field measures between 25 to 30 meters in length and 9 to 10 meters in width, with pins arranged in three rows at the Castro section.
The scoring system includes special plays called Onces, where players can earn additional points by knocking down specific pin combinations in predetermined patterns.
