Day 21: Mansillas - León

This was a nice day. I had such a good chat with Tina this morning about all sorts of things, really getting to know each other on a personal level. Tina is incredible, hugely empathetic and incredible welcoming. We are lucky to have her.

This morning was absolutely freezing, with first everywhere and steam coming from our breath. I walked for the first time in my long (and nightime pants) as the weather had really dropped severely.

Arriving in Leon was great, a big city full of life and beautiful buildings. We booked 2 nights in a room of a hostel and we are all so excited to not pack a bag for a change.

Before I dinner I did a quick stop at Zara to boot the warm weather wardrobe! My shorts are finally not enough. I got a big flannel which i couldnt be happier about.

Maik cooked an absolute chef's meal tonight, prawn pasta, and the Anne-Cecile messaged me a bar where all the crew was at. There was real excitement amongst all the pilgrims tonight, rest dsy in a big city! Particularly after the last few days in ghost towns.

We had a good few beers but i didnt join the 4am crew. Great decision. Rest day will be good tomorrow.Read more
