Day 22, León


View Deb's Camino de Santiago de Compostela on Deb Godley's travel map.

Just woke up. I've slept better the last two nights because I've been able to snag an extra pillow from an unused bed. They'd probably charge me double if they knew! Time for bacon & eggs! Then we walk to Leon, but it's only 18 k.

In Arcahueja, we stopped for the usual break - bathroom, hot water/coffee, snack, shoes off. Very nice full moon this morning and sunrise. And a picture of us starting out our last day walking together. Many meetings and partings on the Camino.

Luisa and I are staying at the Unamuno albergue and we've paid an extra 5€ each for a private room with a bathroom (!) ensuite. It's about 3 blocks from the cathedral. Paul opted to stay at an albergue farther from centro where he will meet up will friends. This place is fantastic! And the internet is fast even in the room.

Off to the shower...

We saw a spot for chocolate con churros for later. Doing laundry now, after lunch

Luisa and I toured the cathedral today, walked around the shops, had lunch and then snacks for dinner and finished off with chocolate con churros.

Here's a few pics from Leon's Gothic cathedral. The stained glass windows were amazing.
