I'm wondering which route to take for this two-day stretch - Brierley recommends one stage from León to Villar de Mazarife and then the next stage from there to Astorga. The alternative would be to go from León to San Martín del Camino and thence on to Astorga the next day. I'm guessing Brierley's recommendation is to the one to go with as the San Martín route skirts the busy N-120. Any thoughts?
Same here. One thing that I liked about this way was finally getting a chance to see wild meadows mixed in with the farm fields.We walked the route via Villar de Mazarife and enjoyed it very much. Highly recommended. Buen camino John.
A not particularly good picture of the interior:Leaving Leon it is only 7 km to La Virgen del Camino and an ]extraordinary 20th century church.
...
in the midst of chaotic suburb the church is a superbly maintained architectural gem as well as a haven of peace. Be sure to enter it; the calm interior is splendidly lit with deep chrome yellow glass.

Same experience here, twice. I can't recommend it enough. [Edit...and the food is delicious AND vegetarian--I stopped here for lunch on my first Camino and it was not what I expected. Such a nice surprise!]In Villar de Mazarife we stood in lovely Albergue San Antonio de Padua. Just a wonderful stay. It has a beautiful garden and is highly recommend by us.
Good choice. I also like the route through Mazarife, and the garden in the albergue San Antonio de Padua is a pleasant oasis on a hot day.
