Just short of 20 miles today. Accommodation very nice, comes complete with a cat and a well laid out garden to relax.
Had a drink in the local bar after arriving here and was given a free plate of something spicy. Discovered later it was octopus and potato in a spicy sauce! Also got a second drink free – not sure if that was because I ate the octopus.
After clean white sheets and single bed last night it’s back to the sleeping bag tonight. Sharing room with three German ladies and just had dinner with them. Actually we’re the only people in the hostel tonight.
I read a book by Tim Moore called Spanish Steps earlier this year in which he tells of his trip on the Camino with a donkey. And lo and behold – no, it wasn’t Tim Moore.
Second photo is of a procession in Mansilla celebrating the birthday of the Virgin Mary. Then just before sunrise this morning followed by that drink and questionable dish I had.
Should be in Leon tomorrow.
