Day 23 - 23k - Villa de Mazarife

Walked into town last night from the Albergue with Frank Wall. Went for a couple of beers in Leon and then caught up with Gaby. Gaby took the bus while I walked the tar and cement. Leon is a fabulous city with a great atmosphere. The big attraction is the Cathedral with its stained-glass windows. I much prefer Leon to Burgos. Bought a new pair of socks, a Swiss army knife and a pack of Compeed plasters. I felt a bit decadent. The Compeeds are the pilgrim's friend. If you feel a hot spot on your feet you put a Compeed on it to avoid a blister. We went out and had paella for dinner with the usual suspects. Called into a small little shop on the way home and had a glass of wine. It was a great little place. They gave us smoked ham, chorizo and cheese as well which was a nice touch. Had a shortish day today. Had no rain while we walked. The place we are in is quite nice, only 4 beds to a room. With any luck there might be a match on the telly after dinner.
