Day 16 Villarente - Villar de Mazarife

32.8 km (482.2 km from start). 2135 calories. 42.000 steps. 6h 40min on the road. 5.8 km/h

Great hostel in Puente Villarente. Nice dinner, new “pilgrim friends” and nice lounge area with fireplace. Enjoyed that place.

Up 06.30am, breakfast at 7am and out on the road at 07.15am

Another 32+ km stage - and I can feel it in my body. No pain but few blisters and general tiredness. Weather is nice, fortunately not so hot.

There are 3 big city’s on Camino: Pamplona, Burgos and Leon. Leon was as any other big city - boring and empty (Sunday in Spain = everything is closed and no people on the streets).

Managed to find open supermarket: new Colgate, soap, chocolate bars and peanuts mixture. Important with high energy snacks.

Got also 200€ from 🏧 - using Apple Pay as much as possible but cash is still necessary at small villages.

Plan for today: relax, stretch out, recharge. I am tired but still extremely happy and positive.Read more
