Since we had quite a hard day yesterday , we decided we deserved an relatively easy day. 50 K down hill to the city of Leon.
This is my favorite city so far. we ar staying in a little hostel in the old part of the town, literally facing the famous cathedral of Leon! The cathedral is amazing, full of stained glass windows, about 737 of them, which cover an area of 2000 square meters in total. Sorry folks, thats all i understood from the 30min guided tour in spanish, for more details need to ask Pedro.
Anyway, also visited the Parador of Leon ( again for the non spanish, these tend to be very old buildings that used ti be hotels, or palaces etc and they are today preserved and used as luxury hotels, very nice). We looked a little bit like gipsies as we walked in with our shorts, sandals and red faces but i refuse to carry any more clothes up the f.....ing mountains.
So, thats al for now, have a really big day tommorow, going down to Zamora, looking at 10-12 hour ride (150-something Kms), so straight to bed. will try to keep you updated as much as we can. Hope you havent got too bored. take care
