[QUOTE="susanvalaer, post: 1146592, member: 106554"] A very personal opinion: When I walked the Frances in 2019, I took a bus from Leon to the outskirts of town, because the guidebook said it was through an industrial area, and I wouldn’t be missing anything. That decision always bothered me when asked by others if I had walked “the entire way”. Fast forward to 2022…. I walked the Frances a second time (because I love the Frances and am a glutton for punishment apparently…), and walked out of Leon, choosing to not take a bus or taxi the entire route. Was it worth the walk? It was indeed through an industrial area, then some residential, not at all interesting and for the most part lacking in views. Am I happy I walked instead of bussed through it the second time? Immensely! Please realize I do not hold anything against those who take a bus here or there through the Camino. It’s just that for me, it mattered that I was honest in my response that I had actually WALKED the Camino. :) [/QUOTE]
