It was a rough start: our flight to Madrid was delayed, causing us to miss our 11am train to Leon. The next one out wasn’t until 8:30pm.
We decided to explore a little bit of Madrid to pass the time. I hadn’t really slept on the flight so I was struggling. I was falling asleep in the restaurant and in between stops on the Metro. All I could think of was the bed at the hotel in Leon. We explored Plaza Olavide at my friend Maggie’s suggestion, and Plaza Mayor and el Mercado de San Miguel.
We finally made it to Leon at 10:30pm, walked around el barrio húmedo, had some wine and tapas, and finally went to the hotel and fell asleep at 1:30am.
On Sunday, Sept 6, we started our first day of the Camino, officially, at 8am!
~14 miles total, got rained on, and saw some beautiful vistas.
Enjoy the photos! I don’t know if I’ll always write this much, by the way. Just taking this day by day 🙂
