Sunday 11 may. Puente Villarente – Leon – Virgin del Camino.

21 km, total 475,5 km. Easy walking.

We had a good start this morning. The weather was magnificent.                                      

Our goal today was the "Virgin del Camino". This distance was only 21 km away. On the way we visited the cathedral in Leon. We thought this was fantastic.

We arrived by the Virgin del Camino approximately 13:30. It is a very modern hostel. In the afternoon came a couple of vans with large paella pans and groceries. It was the local football club who were preparing paella for all pilgrims on the hostel. You could eat and drink as much as you wanted. I do not think I have drunk so much of red wine in my life like these last two weeks. The hike is really an adventure.

Next day we arrive in Santibáñez de Valdeiglesias>>>
