According to Julie, leaving Mansilla without a coffee was not going to happen even if it meant searching the entire town. We walked half km back where Albergue Jardin had its restaurant open, and it was full of pilgrims getting a kick-start to the day.
We went through beautiful landscape leaving Mansilla and as we got closer to Leon there was more road travel. From the distance we could see the cathedral spirals. And what a beautiful cathedral! This is a fantastic town, with lots of restaurants, bars and pastry shops serving great food. And the reason we stayed an extra day.
Entering the walls of Leon.
We don't often (never) stay at Paradores. Maybe the price 350Euros/night a factor.
One painting in the lobby!
Finding our Hostal was challenging. This is a big town and we were given a map, but the print was so small, I couldn't make out the street names. I discovered later I was reading the street name upside down. I'll have to either bring a magnifying glass or download a GPS app for the smartphone.
The cathedral is awesome!
