No hanging around this morning. Breakfast was toast and jam and then we were on our way into Leon. It’s the end of my Stage 5 so I have 2 nights here, a day of rest and a chance to explore this historic Paradore. It was built in the 12th century to shelter the pilgrims on the road to Santiago and then converted into a monastery and base for the Knights Templar in the 16th century. And every room has a bath.
I’m not the only pilgrim staying here. One or two faces are recognisable from the upper bunks of the Albergues, discreetly eyeing up the wine list…
