Day 22 Sahagun - Leon by train

The funky Albergue in Villar de Mazeriffe


So far so good. Great nights sleep at Hostal. Taking advantage of hotel's WiFi to report we are just about to have egg and bacon for breakfast - a first. It arrived with tomato purée instead of fried tomatoes but hey!

Cynthia and her German friend were also at the hostel. Cynthia plans to take a week off in Leon. She also took a few days off in Burgos because she lost her 'mojo' Mo hopes to find hers in Ponferrada!

We plan to take the train to Leon today. We don´t see the point of slogging alongside a busy motorway for lots of kms. Train was cheap, only 4 euros and soon landed in Leon. Spent the journey talking to a very tired and footsore couple, Nicole and ´Hoy´ They were planning to spend a night in a hostel to sleep and recover.

  1. Very interesting reading your blog :-)

    You were right to miss out this stretch btw, did it last year and it is just a nightmare from hell (no shade, no water, nothing but dusty road)!
