Today was another rural to urban transfer. I found the transition into Leon much nicer than the walk into Burgos. I have also now passed the halfway point in my walk. I should get to Santiago de Compostela within two weeks.
I will explore Leon tomorrow but my first impression is a nice one. The older part of the city retains much of its medieval character with narrow, winding streets. The city supposedly gets its name from being founded as the base for the Roman VIIth Legion. There is a picture of a fountain attached. The fountain was originally constructed in honor of the Legion. My walks over the past few days have followed some of the still existing Roman roads built in the region.
