12 miles (20 Km) Day started out VERY cold. Temperature was 25 Fahrenheit (-4 Celsius), App said it felt like 18 F, almost -8C. So we bundled up and started walking. There was a bit of wind, so we walked for the first couple of hours with pretty much all of our layers. After we stopped for coffee we were able to get rid of some of the clothes. All of the walk was on a path next to the road, not very exciting. Mansilla de las Mulas is a small town, but there’s a bit more to it than the last few towns. It’s an old medieval town, so there are parts of a wall, but most has been restored. There were a few more people, not many! Later in the afternoon there were a of couple open stores, nothing too fun, but good to see a bit of life!! There’s a museum in town, so we went to learn about the province of León. They had some history exposition parts, and current information. Excited about walking into the city of León tomorrow, although the route there is not very attractive (According to the book we’re following).
