Camino De Santiago Day 24 Visiting Leon Today we took a day off in Leon, and rested and pampered our weary bodies. We are Vegans, walking the camino in Winter with our 6 month old baby son, and sharing our experiences, joys, pain and the lovely countryside as we go. We didn’t stay in the albergue in Leon as Indigo was teething a little and we also just wanted a room to ourselves for the night so we stayed in…
Day 23 Walking The Camino De Santiago – Bercianos Del Real Camino to Mansilla We walked out of Bercianos Del Real Camino feeling great after a wonderful stay in Albergue Santa Clara. It was warm, cosy homely and the hospitalera, Rosa, really goes the extra mile, because she lives from a place of service.

Day 20 Walking The Camino De Santiago – Población to Carrión de los Condes What can I say, some days on the camino De Santiago are boring. Today was the straightest most boring walk along the side of a road for 18km. We also had a strong constant head wind all day as well. We didn’t pass through any towns or villages along the way, other than one deserted village. It is times like this when it is best to…
