The Burbs

The burbs. Lots of it. Just not as charming as the old city.

Day 21, León to Villar de Mazarife

With the smaller towns on the Camino, what you see on main street is what you get. Walking out of Leon, I am reminded, this is not so with the larger cities. See the story below in the photos with descriptions.

Yup, that’s a chicken up there, all right. Still in the city, Basilica San Isidoro.

Arches inside.

Headed out of town. One of these statues is not a classic knock-off. Can you guess which one?

I have a post I’ve been waiting to do called The Vending Machines of the Camino. But this one needs to be here. It’s almost impossible to see, but this machine had an eclectic assortment of products, including a number of prominently displayed “adult toys.” Pretty sure, even on Aurora, haven’t seen this amenity.
