It was a long slog through the last of the meseta, raining on and off all day long. The walk into Leon was on hard pavement, just like all the other cities along the Way.
I walked 12.57 miles/19.7 kms in 5 hours and 15 minutes.
But this is my reward! Two nights of self indulgence!!
You deserve it Arlene! It sounds like the walk has been tough these last couple of days – but what a lovely city to put your heels up!

I’ve been enjoying your daily posts from the route that I walked/cycled in August. You may recall that I paused my camino in Mansillas de las Mulas so you are now in uncharted territory for me. It sounds like you are moving well along the path and I pray that will continue regardless of weather.
