Bercianos to Mansilla de las Mulas

WINDY again. I thought I´d have a funny crick in my neck or back from leaning to my left and forward against the wind all day. But I think the wind was so energizing! And this was the only day I left long sleeves on the whole time, because it was so nice and cool! Again, I thought about going farther, but my guidebook was unclear about the albergues closer to Leon, so I decided not to chance it.

Mansilla de las Mulas is just outside Leon, and has some nice old city walls and stuff, which I enjoyed wandering around in the afternoon. But the hostel was crowded and institutional in feel, not so welcoming. I thought about staying a day later because they were having a medieval fair in the middle of town the next day! But I don´t think I have tons of time to stop without having to take a bus or walk a lot farther in future days. As long as I´m healthy, I want to keep walking. So no medieval fair in the old city.
