Love Leon! Enjoyed a great dinner, catching up with friends who all seem to be here at the same time, and Leon is preparing for festival!
Day in Leon
Church and museum tour, a sneak peek at festival preparation, pizza for lunch, cathedral tour, then back to the festival!
Leon to San Martin del Camino
Dale walked while I cabbed due to my shin splints, and our decision to give them one more rest day. It seems festival is going on in other towns.
San Martin del Camino to Astorga
Working our way back to the hills was a delight, as was walking some of that way with our friend, Beverly. A great hotel, dinner, and rest!
Astorga to Rabanal del Camino
A relatively easy day with beautiful weather, scenery, and a wonderful place to stay. Great dinner and visiting with friends!
Rabanal del Camino to Molinaseca
Emotional day as we attained the highest point on the Camino, laid our rocks at the Iron Cross and faced a strenuous descent into town.
Molinaseca to Villafranca
Our longest day on the Camino…over 30k, and reaching the foothills of the mountains we’ll be climbing in Galicia.
Villafranca to O’Cebreiro
Another long day, 18 miles, and I could only walk about two-thirds. Dale made the terribly hard ascent at the end up 2,000 ft. over 7 km.
O’Cebreiro to Triacastela
Simply wonderful day, starting off under the stars and crescent moon, on country lanes over rolling hills and through forest paths.
Triacastela to Sarria
An exceptionally beautiful day walking through woodlands and small villages. Magnificent scenery all around us!
