The courtyard of our albergue.
Today was a wonderfully short. It was only 18km from El Burgo to Mansilla, and even though we started a bit later, at 7.30, we were settled in our refugio by 12.30. Interestingly, the countryside was initially the same old dry, yellow fields we have seen for the past few days, but changed at Releigos after which we saw smaller fields, some of corn, and some light industry. Mansilla de las Mulas is a large, old town, with narrow streets. It is a walled town and many of the walls are in good condition.
At this stage, we have got to know a few people quite well: Pat and John from California; four Irish guys from the border area; Park from South Korea; the mother and daughter from Finland we met the first evening; ???? from Wisconsin; Dieter from Germany; a family group from Monaghan; Catherine from Australia and Mark from England; and others. There appear to be a lot of Germans and Australians, and we are told that there are a lot of Canadians but we have yet to meet them - last year it seemed that there were so many that nobody was left in Canada!
House seen on busy square in Mansilla - would you sleep comfortably here?
