I stayed overnight in the municipal alburgue in Mansilla. It was very crowded and all the beds were assigned and they began to pull out mattresses for the floor as more people continued to arrive. Also the showers were not working well so I was not able to get as clean as I like. Anyway it was just for overnight and the hospitaleros were very good and tried hard to accommodate everyone. One hospitalera even set up a foot clinic and began taking care of blisters and bandaging feet.

Today I did the 18 km from Mansilla de las Mulas into Leon. It was a warm sunny day. I was on the road before 08:00 and after a short stop for what the Spanish call breakfast, I was in the southern suburbs of Leon by noon.
