    Last bus from Mansilla de las Mulas to Leon?

    I also thought to take bus from Mansilla to Leon but actually walk not so bad - certainly not as bad as trek into Burgos- anyhow if you take the more beautiful route from Shahagun and stay in Hermanllos( ?spellling) as opposed to road route to El Burgo de Romero - again forgive spelling -there...

    Availability of water of Camino Frances

    Dangerous exit for pilgrims on the way to Leon

    Hi, I walked from Mansilla to Leon last month and seriously considered getting the bus but it was not so bad, certainly not so frustrating as last stretch into Burgos - how is the road out of Leon? had to leave for home from there but looked much more tedious route out..

    Not as good as I thought...

    In response to the Irish pilgrims less than positive experiences on the Camino: Hi, another Irish girl here, I am doing my Camino in stages as can't get free time to do all together due to other commitments, good things and bad things there - the legs get a break which is good (!) but you lose...
