Leon to Villar de Mazarife

Today’s walk was a “short” 21k (13 miles) and our first hint of solid Spring weather ☀️ Plenty of sunshine and highs in the mid-60’s. We had the option to take the traditional Camino route along the busy highway, or opt for a few kilometers more and take the green/alternative route, so we opted for door #2. The route took us along a quiet country road for most of the day, with plenty of Spring wildflowers 🌺🌸🌼and birdsong 🪶 to occupy our time. Also, fresh lavender, rosemary & thyme 🍃 to pick & smell along the way! Our albergue for the evening had a very nice home-cooked communal meal of paella for roughly 40 pilgrims. 🥾🇪🇸Read more
