      Leon

      27 mei, Spanje ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

      Day 25 Léon
      Distance from Reliegos to Léon 25kms

      Walking towards Léon was for the most part parallel to the highway however we enjoyed the flat path and warm sunny day. As we entered the outer suburbs the noise of traffic and people broke the silence we had become accustomed to. A small city with a population of around 200,000 it was easy to find our way around and most places of interest were close to the city square. We were fortunate to be staying within walking distance. We boarded a small electric train and were happy to be taken on a sightseeing tour around the city.
      The Gothic Cathedral (Santa Maria) built in the 13th century with its magnificent medieval stained glass windows the Casa De Botines (a building facing 4 streets) and the work of architect Gaudi.
      We stepped back in time and into a pharmacy which opened in 1827 still operating and maintains the original ceiling and furniture. We weighed ourselves on giant antique scales (my lips are sealed) and walked out rather pleased with ourselves.
      Rest day tomorrow.

      Day 20 to Mansilla de las Mulas

      26 mei, Spanje ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

      So I think you just get used to the walking... like when you run a lot and get used to long runs.

      Tried to out walk the Americans today... did not feel like their company... Just needed space and quiet.

      In the end just took a long break at small town... and saw group of kids... they look 12... but are probably 18...

      Arrived at Albergue and had to wait till 14:00 for a bed...
      Vincent & I were first in line.

      Sexy young guy (like in Jo's age!!! So @Anet... don't get any ideas!) also waiting... so I said to the boy he mustn't worry - he's young and sexy and will find a bed!! Embarrassing Vincent terribly 🤣

      Luckily the young boy found a bed!

      Ps. Also a little bit weird to think I've not slept in the same bed in 20 days!

      At Mansilla de las Mulas

      8 mei, Spanje ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

      Another beautiful day! About 19 kms, cold to start and now (4.30) positively hot! But it very quickly cools off when the sun goes down….or before really, as it is light till after 9pm. The walk itself wasn’t spectacular, just continuing on by the country road, but very comfortable….a few undulations, one stop for coffee/colacao where we also ate our picnic supplies in their outside tables, as getting food there was so slow!

      Then we sauntered into town about 2.30. We are in separate accommodation from R and R tonight, and we saw notices for theirs as we entered and explored, as it is where we stayed last time and had such difficulty finding…so we sorted that out, and had a beer together, before we left and found our place - a really gorgeous Albergueria del Camino, right in the centre and have a beautiful room. Each time we have stayed here - this is the third - we have had different hostals and I think this is the pick of the 3…easy to find, happy friendly hosts and great room. Dinner and breakfast here.

      We have a funny history with this town as it was where I had the dread first encounter with bedbugs and it was blacklisted in my mind, but last time was great and I revised my view, and this time confirms it even more. Amr has gone off with a huge bag of clothes to the laundromat - so glad my cold weather clothes will be washed as have been wearing them constantly, and we will be all set for León where we arrive tomorrow, our last walking day.

      When he returns we will walk round and revisit the town….which we did…Met R and R and had a drink with them, as we had dinner at our place at 7pm, like last night, just for residents as they are otherwise closed today. And we have just come back from a spectacular dinner…we joined 3 others we know - Phil from last night, and Erin and Gwen a Canadian aunt and niece (Gwen was one of the bedbug women that Amr helped!)…and the dinner was different from the perennial peregrino menu. We started with a salad which had peach and goat’s cheese delicious, and I had leeks with bacon grilled. Amr had hake perfectly cooked. Excellent. Now off to bed, but no heating needed, but I think cold in the morning.

      Von el burgo de ranero nach manzilla de

      26 mei 2022, Spanje ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      Da bin ich wieder. Also erstmal allen Vätern einen nachträglichen schönen Vatertag. Nun zur heutigen Etappe. Sie erstreckte sich über ca 18,5 km und war relativ eben und die Landschaft bzw Flora und Fauna, sehr schön. Bei wolkenlosen Himmel, und brennender Sonne ging es nicht ohne hohen LSF und Hut. Der erste Zwischenstopp war nach ca 12 km möglich, da dies die einzige Ortschaft zwischen dieses Orten war. Nach einem leckeren cafe con leche und einem Madalena, ging es auf die letzten 6 km zum Zielort. So langsam geht der Weg durch die meseta dem Ende zu. Morgen geht es weiter nach León. Erkenntnis des Tages: Auch mit kleinen Schritten kommt man ans Ziel. Fortsetzung folgt.Meer informatie

      Tag 26 Mansillas de las Mulas nach Leon

      27 mei 2022, Spanje ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      Der Weg Verlauf war heute wieder besser. Heute ging mir durch den Kopf wie gut doch bis jetzt alles klappt. Einen großen Anteil daran hat mein Freund Angel der mir immer wenn ich ein Problem hatte geholfen hat. Sei es als mein lade Kabel defekt war und er mir über Amazon ein neues an die Herberge schicken ließ oder bei Buchungen die er mir schnell erledigt hat. Es ist gut wenn man Freunde hat auf die man sich verlassen kann. Leon ist eine Wunderschöne Stadt und die erste bei derrem Anblick ich sentimental geworden bin. Leider gibt es hir auch sehr viele Touristen. So langsam nähere ich mich der Hälfte meines Weges. Bin gespannt was morgen passiert.Meer informatie

      I guess a good night's sleep without the cacophony of a room of snoring maestros is a good thing because today was a great walk. It ended up just shy of 13 miles along a quiet country road. The path was tree lined with a tree planted every 10 feet on the edge of the path for all 13 miles. The longest row of trees I have ever seen.

      The weather has been cool in the mornings; 36-40 degrees most days. That makes us walk at a pretty good clip when we start off. Today we averaged 3.2 miles an hour and got to our albergue plenty early. It is run by a brother and sister and is maybe the nicest we have stayed in. They are super friendly and focused on you enjoying your stay. When they purchased it, each room slept 12. They decided fewer was better and changed the 4 rooms to sleep just 2 each. Our room is large with 2 balconies and a table and chairs with a great view of all the pilgrims going by.

      The people you meet on the Camino is one of it’s greatest gifts. Today we played leap frog with Ju from Arizona, had a great talk with Steve from Texas who just retired as an ER doctor, met Mechail, a nice young lady from Louisiana and reconnected with Emily who we had not seen since Logroño. Having a common experience seems to open people up to conversations quickly and making new friends is easy.

      Tomorrow we head into León for two nights. We are excited to see one of Spain’s great cities and we hope to check up with other pilgrims we haven’t seen for a few days.

      Buen Camino

      Reliegos

      3 oktober 2022, Spanje ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      Po pysznym śniadanku, spakowaniu i opatrunkach ran ruszyliśmy w drogę równie płaska jak wczoraj. No może troszkę pagórków się pokazało no i temperatura była troszkę większą bo zaczynaliśmy od 9 stopni Celsjusza.
      Przechodziliśmy przez El Burgo Ranero słynące z owiec, mówi się o nim również owcza stolicą Hiszpanii czy może nawet Europy. Owce byly zajęty czymś poza miastem także żadnej nie spotkaliśmy, za to spotkaliśmy bar z pięknym zimnym piwem i jajkiem na twardo. Tak na prawdę to było jedyne miejsce,w którym można było się zatrzymać później znów meseta. Dzisiaj słońce było mocne także wizja gorączki Antoniego pojawiała się parokrotnie przed oczami. To na tyle.
      Jeszcze jedna obserwacja. Rezerwacja miejsca do spania jest magią i czarodziejskim wydarzeniem. Gdy dwie osoby,które się nie rozumieją zawsze dochodzi czynnik rąk, ruchów mięśni twarzy, wyglądu oczu i tak dalej ale gdy to wszystko odbywa się przez telefon to zupełnie wszystko się zmienia. Po wyczerpaniu 75% zasobów językowych tzn 3 słowa i pozostaje tylko jedno na zakończenie rozmowy robi się bardzo interesująco ale do tej pory magia powoduje że mamy gdzie spać a powinno to być niemożliwe 😁

      Day 25-Reliegos

      30 september 2023, Spanje ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F

      Well, here I go again...our short days are the next two days, not today. Today was a 13 mile day and a bit hot. We decided to transport some of our stuff to our next location to give my neck and Pat's knee a break. Pat, ever the gentleman, carried just what we needed for the walk in his backpack and I went packless. Our stuff was already in our room when we arrived.

      We've noticed that the mountains are getting closer. I guess we are the ones that are getting closer to the mountains. We also saw a herd of sheep today. It's been awhile.

      What we've mostly seen along the meseta are sunflowers and corn. And flies. I'm not sure why there are so many flies. Maybe it's all the stinky pilgrims. Not us, though.

      We ran into a lady today that we were with on Day 1 at Auberge Borda. She said she's meeting up with another lady in León that we've known since St. Jean and haven't seen since Pamplona. It looks like there's going to be a reunion for alot of us in Leon.

      Ok, 13 miles today, we have two easier days, 8 miles each and then a day off in León. We both are having minor issues, as would be expected, but the day off cures a lot off it.

      Today’s weather was so beautiful that 26km felt like a breeze. Tonight I’m in a private room with Eric and Ashley and we had a great dinner with some pals from New Mexico and Australia. Also made friends with the gato gang.Meer informatie
