Today was the first day of walking on our 2025 Camino Frances Camino!
We began in León, due to time constraints.
It was a great day to walk… not too hot and not too cold. It looks like we will have a scorcher in two days. We’ll see. Weather reports aren’t always accurate.
I have a recommendation for my Camino friends reading this!
We love the albergue here in San Martin del Camino. It’s called Albergue La Huella. It’s right inside the city limits of San Martin del Camino. Literally. You step inside the town and it’s on the left.
The rooms are lovely and clean and the Pilgrim meal was just what we needed at the end of our day.
Their meal was €12 for the completo. It came with salad, chicken and potatoes, cake, and your choice of wine, water, or pop. Obviously we took the wine. The vino tinto in Spain is delish and cheap. Options for dessert were cake, yogurt, or fruit.
Some photos of our day of walking…
I use Google Fit for my step count. Here’s what it tells me I walked today…this was just Camino steps. It came in roughly what I was expecting. One app told us 22km and another told us 25.5km. Keep in mind that this is not a highly accurate km count, as Michael had two thousand more steps than me. It reads differently for different strides.
Tomorrow, we walk from San Martin del Camino to Astorga. This is where we began our 2019 Camino. There’s a beautiful Palace there, built by Gaudi. We did not enter in 2019, but we’ll be correcting that mistake this time around.
Stay tuned! Onward we go. Buen Camino!
