Day 19 - Leon (Meseta 4)

We took advantage of the speed of the bikes today to do 2 sections of the Camino that most people avoid. The first was the Roman road which adds 2km to the journey and bypasses most stopping places. We only saw about 10 people in over 30kms! Made a nice change from ringing the bell every 30 seconds, and meant we avoided long sections of straight road. The second was around lunch where we took a 6km detour to see the monastery that was a stopping point for the original pilgrims. We’re now in Leon. Our hotel is right next door to the Cathedral- so no commute into town for us!
53kms cycled today, 374m up, 379m down.Leer más
