Short walk to Oncina de la Valdoncina

I had seen comments on the Camino forum about this being a very cool albergue. So I figured I would give my feet one more short day, and stop here. So around 6 miles. My feet are happy. It is pretty cool place, 300 years old, I am the only one here. But she does have a dog that I can pet. Maybe some cats too but they are out doing cat things.

There has been much advice to get a bus on the way out of Leon and skip the outskirts which are not too pretty. But since it was a short distance anyway, I decided to tough it. It wasn’t all that bad. Got to see some older less kept-up parts of the city. Lots of slow traffic near me most of the time as well. Then my walk changed to an alternate route that goes through the countryside for a while, before coming to this tiny little town. I did see a bunny, but was unable to get it on the camera. There are no restaurants open in this town, but Olga, the albergue owner is going to make dinner.Read more
