Mansilla de las Mulas to LEON 21km

Cant quite believe that we are arriving in Leon today, the walk itself is very much on the average side. A lot of lovely tarmac roads with some factories thrown in for good measure. Though there is a pretty amazing sun in the morning to get us going.

Stop at a very exciting fountain just before Arcahueja which tells us that we have only 307 km to Santiago - a doddle.
Finally Leon is within sight though it takes us another hour to actually arrive, not as bad as Burgos though. With the cathedral in our sights off we keep marching on, now officially at the 300km mark, one reason to love Leon...
We may have also possibly just checked ourselves into a rather nice hotel... bath, fluffy towels, bed with sheets, no snoring.... wow.

For those of you who dont like gorey.. dont look further... but this is the result of too much walking!!

    This is much harder than we imagined. I'm so glad that you took my advice and brought floppy hats for the sun!!!!!!!! Well done both of you, the blog is terrific and my favourite reading. The hotel looked terrific - talk about from the ridiculous to the sublime! xxx Maggie
