Day 30: León to Hospital de Orbigo…

…via taxi to Chozas de Abejo about 15 km outside of León, where I started the 20 km walk to Hospital de Orbigo. Today’s walk was really nice, not too cold in the morning and not too hot in the afternoon. My blisters are much better, not painful although not completely healed yet. And my gaiters worked GREAT! Not a single pebble in my shoes! All in all, a good walking day.
I’m staying in an albergue with 18 bunk beds tonight. Cost €17, with dinner, breakfast, and yoga by donativo, which means you pay what you wish. I usually prefer a private room, but I’d heard good things about this place so here I am. One of the volunteers led a fantastic yoga class tonight, which my body loved! I wish all the albergues had a yoga space. I definitely haven’t been stretching enough, and my body feels it. We’ll see if the yoga pays off tomorrow. 🧘😊
I’ve got a fairly short 16 km walk to Astorga tomorrow, then I’ll bus back to León to meet Amy, who arrives tomorrow night. How wonderful it will be to see her! ❤️Læs mere
