Camino Francés - Day 21: Mansilla de las Mulas to León
The weather didn’t look good from the start. It began as a light drizzle but quickly turned into heavy rain soon after we left. My main goal was just to keep my pack dry. I didn’t take many photos today — it was too wet to bother. I started with my pack cover and rain jacket, but after a short while the jacket felt too hot, so I switched to using my umbrella instead.
The walk was mostly flat, though the scenery wasn’t very exciting. Nearing León, the path passed more highways and industrial areas, but I was glad the rain began to ease as I approached the city. My shoes slowly started to dry as I got closer to town, and the sight of León felt like such a relief after the long, wet day. I arrived ahead of my Camino family, and we decided to stay in an Airbnb and take a rest day tomorrow.
