Julio Llamazares (born 1955) is a Spanish author born in Vegamián, León Province.
He is a law graduate but left law for journalism including radio and TV and literature. His first works were poetry La lentitud de los bueyes first published in 1979 and La memoría de la nieve in 1982. Luna de lobos is his first novel, published in 1985.
