Camino Charity Walk
Left Parador San Marcos at 0800 having eaten as much of the buffet breakfast we could physically manage. Sun was out but it was cold as we trudged out of Leon.
Soon got into the countryside but in truth the scenery was again flat and a bit boring but at least the paths were good so we made quick time.
We were heading for a recommended old converted mill called Molinos Galochas 32km away and got there exhausted but happy at 4ish.
It was worth the effort as the place is lovely and the welcome was great as the patron Mercedes gave us a beer and tapas within a minute of our arrival.
We are eating with the other guests on a big table in front of a roaring fire - as its gone very cold.

JennyandMike Hi, letting you know we're all quietly following your blogs with admiration for you both and looking forward to seeing the movie - assuming you're the cameraman Westie with Sally as the star! It must be getting even tougher now so time to dig out the old marching tunes? "It's a long way to whip a fairy etc......xx Happy Birthday Sally - hope you have a relaxing day ahead ~we'll raise a bottle to you both!! Jen & Mike xxx
laurieandsally Many thx Jenny and Mike for your message. We need a new song to walk to as "I will walk 500 miles" by the Proclaimers was getting dull especially as we do not the words! Also belated happy birthday to Jenny and hope you weren't forced on a route march as part of your celebration. S and L x

Bill & Jill Jordan Sally - happy birthday from us both. One you'll remember no doubt, hopefully for all the right reasons. Sounds as though you are both in the "zone" and achieve your goal. We'll raise a glass in the Snitterfield Arms tomorrow night! Love B & J
laurieandsally Many thx B and J for your msg and we will keep going as long as the feet hold out. Had great birthday in this lovely place and now off for a nightcap. S and L xx
Gabrielle Doesn't get much better than an awe inspiring Gaudi, sunshine and a good walk (plus a night cap of course). Xx
