Leon hviledag
25. syyskuuta 2023, Espanja ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Det viste seg at Noreen, den australske damen som jeg har blitt kjent med, hadde fødelsesdag. Sammen med en mor og datter fra USA, ble det et glass sjampanje på oss hver og senere ble det middag. En veldig hyggelig kveld.

I dag har jeg ikke gjort stort. Jeg spasert til Cathalon butikken, 20 min hver vei, kjøpte en langermet T-skjorte, en treningsbukse og en lett vindjakke - alt lett, pustende og ment for jogging. Jeg tror dette vil fungere for de kalde morgener som jeg erfarer.
Ellers har vannblemmer fått hvile og eller har jeg ikke gjort noe som helst. I morgen tar jeg bussen ut av Leon. Dagsetappen er ca 35 km, som jeg reduserer med 10 km, med buss ut av Leon og dets industriområder. Tur i industriområder er ikke gøy og da er buss innenfor
Litt om katedralen i Leon, som er bygget i gotisk stil, rundt 1000 år gammel. Katedralen er kjent for sine 130 dekorerte vinduer og 3 store rosevinduer, en av de gotiske katedralene med flest dekorete vinduer (blyglass). Det blir en flott stemning i katedralen når solen lyser opp vinduene som speiler seg inn i katedralen.Lue lisää

I didn’t walk today 😔
The doctor was very emphatic on taking a rest day so I caught a bus early in the morning to León. Most of the city entrances were not the nicest to walk so I figured this would be a good section to skip without much FOMO.

I got to town so early that I managed to get some beautiful shots at the Cathedral without anyone in the square! I sat at a cafe there to enjoy my coffee with a view and shortly after I bumped into Lukas and Tommaso. Of course we’d reunite! I also met Little John (who was going through his Camino spending more by staying in private rooms to spare people from his snoring - good people still exist!).

After dropping my things off at the Albergue, we went to a mass with singing nuns (finally!). It was beautiful 😍

From there, Lukas, Tommaso and I went to the museum and then walked around the city centre as there was a big medieval festival taking place. There was music and food and market stalls everywhere.

Later that day, after resting my leg a bit more, I caught up with the Spanish ladies and we went to visit the Cathedral, known for its more than 130 church windows! Breathtakingly beautiful! ⛪️

By the time we came out, it was pouring so we found an undercover spot to enjoy some food and drinks, one last hurrah before we parted ways the next day and another bittersweet farewell. We were all headed to Astorga but they’d walk the stretch in 3 days and I would do it in 2 as Jorge would visit me on the trail there 😊Lue lisää

Leon und seine Kathedrale
29. huhtikuuta 2023, Espanja ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
León war in den vergangenen Tagen die Hauptstadt des Königreiches León, einem der Vorgänger des spanischen Staates. Hier möchten wir die Kathedrale und die Basilika San Isidoro besichtigen. Obwohl es für spanische Verhältnisse noch Recht früh war, war die Kathedrale bereits überfüllt. Wir hätten außerdem ein Ticket kaufen müssen, um diese Kirche zu betreten. Unterstützen wollen wir diese Kirche dann doch nicht🤭🤔🥴Lue lisää

Heute stand die Besichtigung der Kathedrale von León an.
Wir sind ja bekennend nicht die großen Kirchenanhänger, aber man muss es der katholischen Kirche schon lassen - was die in den Jahrhunderten für Prachtbauten erbauen ließen ist schon zu bewundern. So auch die Kathedrale in León, die wir heute inkl. Museum besichtigt haben.
Danach ging es noch kurz durch ein paar Seitengassen, vorbei an einem weiteren Gaudi-Palast bis wir aufbrachen Richtung Salinas und Haro.Lue lisää

Leon
23. kesäkuuta 2023, Espanja ⋅ 🌙 22 °C
I spent a couple of nights in the small town of Carrion de Los Condes, where I stayed in a renovated monastery, the Hotel Real Monasterio de San Zoilo. Not being able to walk very far, I was glad that they had a museum in part of the building.

Now I’m in Leon, which is known for its cathedral, which has 133 stained glass windows. I also toured Casa Botines, a textile factory and showroom that was designed by Gaudi. It’s now a museum about Gaudi and his works. It also houses an excellent art museum. It has a room full of Dali creations. He was commissioned by the Italian government to illustrate Dante’s Divine Comedy.Lue lisää

Leon and stained glass windows
22. kesäkuuta 2023, Espanja ⋅ 🌙 11 °C
I arrived in Leon about 5pm, and was greeted by a tremendous but short-lived downpour. My hotel, Le Petit Leon was easy to find, right in the heart of the Tapas area and a short walk to the main attraction, the wonderful Leon Cathedral. I popped in for a quick look and was blown away by the stained glass windows and the elegance of the Gothic design. Started in 1153 and commissioned by Alphonso the tenth it is one of the best Gothic cathedrals in the world. The time of day and therefore the light dictates the ambience. A huge effort has gone into the restoration of the Cathedral and various convents, churches and Roman Walls. The museum of Contemporary Art is great- just one floor and all the artworks are huge. The tapas scene is big here and bars come alive after 9pm.
I love the feel of the place and saw my first Gaudi!Lue lisää

I've been wondering who paints all the yellow arrows that guide the way on the Camino. As I was leaving León this morning I found one arrow painter at work.
And here are some examples of arrows that I've seen along the way. It can be unpredictable as to where to look for the arrows. They are on the road, on rocks, on lamp poles and sides of buildings.Lue lisää

Dags att checka in på ett härbärge som drivs av nunnorna vid Monesteria Santa Maria. Mässa kl 19 och välsignelse kl 21.30. Har tvättat och duschat. Besök i León Katedral. På kvällen hoppade vi pilgrimsmenyn. Jag tog morcilla (blodkorv) och Måns åt revben.Lue lisää

Tonight and tomorrow we will stay in Leon, resting up for the last 200 miles. We’ll devote tomorrow to the magnificent Gothic Cathedral.

The past few days have been easy walks with few climbs. We passed the halfway point at Sahagun, where we celebrated with KitKats!

Each church steeple, and other high places, seems to have a resident stork. We can see the little ones in the nests and we often hear the parents clacking over their babies.

We also passed a boot graveyard today, out in the middle of nowhere.

We still see some of the same folks we’ve been walking with for several weeks, including a young photographer for the Miami Dolphins who’s here on special assignment.

And we’ve eaten many of the French bread sandwiches, called bocadillos, a staple of the pilgrim diet, along with fried eggs and Spanish tortilla (a potato, egg and cheese pie).Lue lisää

How we navigate

How do you find your way across 500 miles of Spain, through villages, fields and cities? You pay attention and look for these —

(Or you look for other pilgrims who seem to know where they’re going).
