Today's 18 km were almost an identical repeat of yesterday. We continue to travel along a flat straight stretch of an ancient Roman road — one which the Emperor Augustus himself used.

The name is derived from Mano en Silla (hand on the saddle) that also defines the towns coat of arms. The addition of de las Mulas (of the mules) probably refers to the towns earlier prominence as a livestock market.

We are now 19 km to León, the last large city of the Camino.
