- cycled from Pamplona Sep 2015;Frances, walked from St Jean May/June 2017. Plans to walk Porto 2020
Hola, well I am now in Leon and for me there is only one answer; walk, especially in Spring. I took 8 days from Burgos which is about the Brierley average. Although if you break away from his suggestions you may end up with a few long days. The weather was ok apart absolutely freezing rain on the day from Rabe de las Calzadas to Hontanas. As some will know I have cycled most of the eastern Meseta, Sahagun in September and the change in Spring is almost unbelievable it is so green! The wheat and rice crops were about 500/750mm high and looking great.
One thing to note, if you are lucky enough to stay with the sisters at Santa Maria in Carrion de Los Condes be sure to bring a copy of the words to your favourite hymns or a song or two. The sisters sing with & for you at 6.00 pm/18.00 each evening.
I will post photos, later.
