• Back in The City

    3. oktober 2024, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C

    We set off this morning to a cool, misty but more importantly dry morning. Currently the forecast is for 3 dry days and then almost a week of 50-50 chance of rain each day.

    For the last couple of days the path had been along side almost deserted country roads, which I've walked along rather than the stony path. Today is the same, except it was a busy road which turned into a dual carriageway on the outskirts of Leon and the countryside gave way to sporadic light industrial buildings and some retail for a couple of miles. Until we could see Leon in the distance under some very low cloud.

    On arriving in Leon we were able access the apartment just after midday. So a couple of washing machine loads later we headed out to explore Leon. Currently there is the San Froilan festival going on, which last 10 days. There was a medieval market with some remarkablely 21st century products on sale.
