    Day 25 - Mansilla to Leon

    Jun 15–17, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    The walk into Leon today actually wasn't as bad as I'd expected! A lot of reviews weren't great, but I still found it ok!... Maybe it helped that the weather was awesome?!

    We chatted to Maika from San Francisco .. we've been bumping into her on and off since we met on Day 5! She's also had some shin splint issues, so today, she had her bag transported and was just taking it easy.

    We arrived in Leon at 1pm, found our hostal, checked in, and went straight out again, looking for food!

    Tonight, we caught up with Karen & Matt from Gwelup and some other pilgrims we haven't seen for ages! ... we had dinner at a restaurant right next to the cathedral ... lovely to catch up and share stories of our travels! 💜

    Tomorrow is a rest day, so I will sleep in, get some laundry done, visit the cathedral, and just give these feet some well-deserved rest I think! 👣 = ❤️    Read more
