My walk onto Leon in the morning was, in one sense, a time to relish the thought that I would be staying here for a few days. My feet needed attention and a thorough drying out.

From Itero de la Vega, I had first thought that I would spend the night in … Continue reading Itero de la Vega to Carrion de los Condes – Day 15
