Oct. 6 Leon

On our rest day in Leon we hiked four km to a six-storey store to buy some hiking supplies. At noon we walked to the city centre where we took a historical tour. Later we sat at a bistro in awe of the nearby Cathedral of Leon. Fellow Camino hikers we hadn’t seen for several weeks joined us for wine and olives. We bought tomatoes, roasted red peppers, cheese and fresh bread and had dinner back in our hotel- a rare treat. Tomorrow we hit the road before dawn for a 20 to 25 km hike. We are about 320 km from Santiago

The Cathedral of Leon is impressive inside and out.
A poignant statue that caught my attention inside Nuestra Senora de la Mercado.When in doubt call it Santa Maria church. We have been to numerous Santa Maria churches across Spain. Indeed this church used to be called Santa Maria del Camino.
