Two days ago I spent time in Leon. Or I should say in the old Medieval center of Leon that houses the famous Santa Maria de Leon Cathdral, built to celebrate the Christian reconquest of Spain. It was started in 1255 & completed in 1302. It was unique among Spainish cathedrals because of the 125 stained glass windows, some of the finest stained glass in the world.
The self tour with an English recording was fascinating.
Yesterday wasn't a terrific day, unfortunately. I sympathize more closely with people who have told me that after days of walking they suddenly developed huge blisters or an injured leg or foot. For some reason my knees hurt so much last night that I could hardly walk. I hobbled along for a few kilometers this morning then stopped at a neat alburque
to rest & get some supplies from the pharmacy, which have helped a lot. This is a picture of me relaxing near one of longest intact Medieval bridges in Spain.
