Day 21 - Astorga
September 28, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Couple of big climbs today. The first was out of Leon- a bit of a shock after the Meseta! Very sunny and it warmed quickly today. Stopped by a few odd villages. One of them seemed to be executing effigies of 'peregrinos' (pilgrims) - we didn’t stop! (see photos). One more day before we meet up with Chris and Paula so looking forward to that.
55kms cycled today, 480m up, 450m down.Read more

There appears to be some strange goings on in this part of the country. Passport looking full. [Jenny]

TravelerThe key thing for the passport is to ensure that we get 2 stamps each day from tomorrow. If we do that then we get the Compostella certificate!
