last night in Mansilla de las Mulas
This is a town whose main claim to fame was as a mule market. Those days have come and gone. My two Amigos and I took a 34 km bus ride to Mule town and walked into Leon this morning.
Yesterday was market day with all of those wonderful fruits vegetables and sausages and me with no kitchen.
I have checked into my hostal and there are even sheets and blankets. This is different that the usual albergue (a hostal being a step up).

Oct. 11 - Even Walls are Used to Give Directions - Here the entire wall of a building is used to give information and directions to Pilgrims. The yellow 'Via Franka' is the yellow line along the bottom.
Sept 26 - Taking the Pilgrims way - Formal signage points to the next spot along the Way.
Sept 27 - Signage of a Different Variety - An example of helpful signage with an information panel. No yellow arrow this time. Note that there are many 'paths' or ways to Santiago and they often share the same trail along the way. There are a series of different coloured arrows to follow for each one, sometimes it does get confusing.
Sept. 28 - Cute Marker - Some of the markers are downright cute, like this one decorated with a carved gourd.
Day 24 Mansilla de las Mulas - 36 kms today with most of it on the bus.
Day 25 Leon - A casual 18km walk North into Leon.
