It’s raining ….still. The walk today should have been a breeze – 17km and pretty straight forward…or so we thought. Initial 10km was fine until we reached the industrial edge of Leon. It is always a down after walking in the countryside. Braced ourselves for this (the guide book suggested we shouldn’t feel guilt if we caught a bus….). The unanimous decision was that there was to be no buses for us. All was OK until we reached the top of a about a 600 metre section on about a 35 degree angle that simply had turned into a mud slide….this was not fun. Walking poles to the rescue and a whole bunch of Peregrinos with a LOT of mud on their boots and we made it.
The reward was immediate coffees and the discovery of hot chips being made and served. Discovered a beautiful building by Gaudi (the architect of Sagrada la Familia in Barcelona) and a great statue of him on the Main Street. We have done very little other than shower, wash our gear out, go to the LAUNDROMAT and now settling down for a drink and meal and prepare for and explore around Leon tomorrow during a rest day…more about Leon tomorrow.
It’s a first for my eyes to linger over a photograph of any type of food rather than lingering over amazing architecture, particularly anything by Gaudi. However the thought of fresh, hot potato chips accompanied by a pint of shandy – what’s not to drool over.
Hi Susan
Checking out the response technology. By the way the crisps enticed us in to buy healthy fruit and nut.
Beautiful photos. Love the blog.
Thanks Maggie …glad you’re in some of them!
Each day you take me to new places with your humour and amazing photos – lovely the life you are living😊
Robyn – I waited a long time for this – and every kilometre has been worth it….well maybe not the KM’s beside the freeway and alongside the industrial area
