Day 15. Calzadilla de los Hermanillos

23km walked.
Again there is no room for the full title of our departure village and planned destination. We headed off in half light along a very quiet country road. Beanies were worn for the first time. It's always special to walk pre sunrise. The landscape was flat with irrigated fields of sunflowers and corn. The colors popped as the sun rose. We had a 17km section before the next town. As it was Sunday all was very quiet. No coffee for us in that town. We continued on for another 6km to our planned destination but a brilliant idea was formulated. Our guide book advised catching a bus for the 18km journey into Leon. This will give us 2 nights in Leon and thus a full day to explore the city. Unfortunately we discovered that there would be a 4 hour wait for the next bus but tall Paul managed to negotiate a €30 taxi ride shared with another pilgrim. Now in hotel having a well earned rest. We have covered 410km in 15 days and most certainly in need of a day off.
Will hit the tapas bars tonight and enjoy a sleep in tomorrow.Read more
