Day 23

Leon to Astorga – 50kms

Today we said goodbye to our bikes. They were a good travel companion and they cut 10 boring days of walking to 4 days of cycling.

Astorga is a nice town. We looked at some Roman remains buried under the streets. We also had a look through the fairytale palace and castle which had lots of old things in it dating back to the 1500s.

Neither of us had the energy for tapas bar crawling so we opted for the pilgrim dinner at our hotel.
