If you had to be ill anywhere on the Camino this is not a bad place. The Albergue is brand new. There is the Templar Castle and hundreds of restaurants. My cold is improving. The bill from the hospital is a little over 100euros, which I will deal with tomorrow. The Albergue does a great […]
What I didn’t post yesterday was that I did a face plant just outside of El Acebo. It was again a very flat part of the path and I had no idea what caused it. I picked myself up and carried on through several hours of a rocky treacherous descent into Molinaseca, one of the

Today was almost a perfect Camino day. I left Leon a little after 8:00am. I worried a bit about getting out of a very large city, however, the signage was good and I was able to follow a trail of pilgrims out of the old town, through the suburban sprawl and passed the industrial wasteland
