León

We started out from Reliegos about 7:30am after Mary, the owner of the hostel, made us good coffee and gave us a pastry and banana for energy. The hike into León was a little under 16 miles with a wide range of changes and variation.

We noticed yesterday that the landscape had changed from brown to green and today was even a bigger change. We clearly have moved into a different environment and are moving from the flat agricultural region back into more hills. After a week of flats we are looking forward to the change.

Our walk was really quiet up until the last couple of miles as we started into the city. León was a bit of a shock to the system after days of quiet. It is much larger than Pamplona or Logroño and may take a bit to get used to. We are here for 2 nights for a little down time and exploring before getting back to the solitude of walking.
