Our official first day on the Camino started with a pick up at our downtown Madrid hotel and a 4 hour small bus ride to Leon. Fresco Tours is on top of every detail with smooth transfers.
I haven't quite mastered uploading pictures to the blog page but you can see them on Facebook.
We were greeted with a fabulous lunch followed by our orientation and then a two hour walking tour of Leon. Our hotel shares a wall with the old perimeter defenses and was formerly an old mansion converted to a charming but not modern hotel. Has everything we need with updated bathrooms and perfect location.
Some of us attending the Pilgrim Mass in local church and hope it provides us with safe travels. The Gothic Cathedral is enormous with spectacular stain glass windows. Pilgrims everywhere and we start walking tomorrow. Perfect weather so far.
