¡Hola! Day 25- 18k thru the outskirts of León. Got a blister on my Right heel!! Argh! And the ball of my left foot feels pretty warm??. Thought I was past this sort of problem. Body generally feels v. tired so we plan a rest day - ANZAC Day in León. Met a few Aussies and we aré all going to meet up for a few beers so "we will remember them" in España this year. It is nice actually - seems to me The ANZAC spirit is still alive and well - especially when Au...

¡Buenas! Day 24 - 19k walked, pretty much dead flat, weather changeable still with a cold front (frente frío) coming through about midday.

Spent a fair bit of The trip walking with a Young Mum from Germany, Katrin, with her 4yr old son - se...

¡Hola! ¿Cómo están? Day 21- 23k, cracked the half-way mark today!! Only 381k to go! A doddle!! Again it rained, Just drizzle mostly, all The Rivers are flooded and dirty.

I spent The 1st hour talking to an American student on all these things and we eventually a...
