Day 25: León -> San Martin d. Camino
Loads of tour groups joining the walk today from León to Santiago. Even more will join later on (as you only NEED to walk 100km to get your Compostela). Taking an alt route as all accom was booked up.
Some From Today
Honestly? Walked next to a motorway for most of today, so not the most exciting amble. It’s noticeably busier at this stage as a load of tour groups have begun their walk in León - supposedly it’s about to get even busier and much more ‘commercialised’. Have we finished the really special part of the camino already? We shall see. However, entering Galicia which is meant to be an extremely beautiful change of scenery. (But very rainy! We’ve bought a small hairdryer to dry our clothes as we go.) Tomorrow = Astorga, where there’s a chocolate museum 😋🍫 Aiming to leave at 6am so we can spend most of the day there. (In Astorga, not the chocolate museum. I think. Can’t confirm yet.)
