Day 22 - to Mansilla de las Mulas

Monday marked Day 22, starting our 4th week on the Camino from El Burgo Ranero above, a nondescript town on the Meseta, the flat Spanish plain, and starting the busiest and most physically challenging parts, soon ahead after Leon.

We ended the day in Mansilla de las Mulas, a historic town we stayed in 2013. Wound up in the same accommodation, the Pension Blanca, we stayed in three years ago. We enjoy Mansilla because of the unique statue above, also pictured in our 2013 blog, but also because of the towns unique character as a major pilgrim waypoint - the town is crowded with Alburgues and pilgrims.
