Your Favourite Towns/Cities to Stay Additional Night/s

[AussieSunnygirl]

Hello everyone, I am getting really excited to begin my CF; departing SJPDP on 21 September. My friend and I have allowed additional days for injury/weather, or just wanting to have a rest day to explore along the way, as well as three additional nights in SdC. My question is this... what towns or cities did you really enjoy and either did stay an additional night, or in hindsight wish you had. I realise what we value as individuals is different, but, would still appreciate your thoughts. Looking forward to hearing your responses.

Here is a fairly recent thread with many opinions on favorite towns and cities to spend an extra day/night. Take a look!

Pamplona, Logrño (Calle Laurel) and Burgos. My long time Camino buddy recommends Leon.

León was my favorite city. My husband and I completed the Camino Frances today (SJPDP to SdC). The cathedral, casa Botines, San Ysidro church and Convent (now Parador León). Beautiful city!!

We liked Leon and Pamplona for rest days. Didn’t need the one we had in Logrono.

If someone into Tapas, Logrono and Leon offer many choices.

Mostly veg, discover hidden gems in side streets, soak in the atmosphere, street dining.

I liked Leon, I thought it was a really pleasant city to spend some time.

I wish I'd had more time in Ponferada and Astorga. Both looked very interesting places.
