It took us about two hours of schlepping through an industrial zone of León to escape the busy environs of the city. The rest of the 21 km walk passed, for the most part, along a busy two lane highway into Villadangos, a sleepy highway town reminiscent of those along the highways of rural Ontario.
Leaving León we came across this weary traveller taking a rest (closeup below). His expression captures the fatigue of the weary pilgrim after a long day of walking. Note the flecha , arrow, at the base. These are our guides along The Way.
Entering Villadangos, we were rewarded with this beacon of hope. We are now less than 300km to the shrine of St. James
