Mancillas de las Mulas to Leon

Hello, everyone. I'm trying to get a little more timely on the posts.

Before beginning today's post, I would like to wish DM and all moms a happy and blessed Mother's Day.

Yesterday we left Mancillas de las Mulas a little bit later than usual: about 7:15. The day had some sprinkles of rain during our walk into the city but was mostly cloudy and chilly. 
Breakfast stop on the way--I had my usual tortilla de patata. 
View of the city as we first saw it from the trail. The Cathedral is at about the middle of the photo.
In front of San Marcos, a famous parador hotel that was used in the movie The Way, we found these lovely trees.
As heavy rain came rolling in just about dinner time (our dinner time--Spanish people eat quite a bit later in the evening) we stayed close to the place we were staying and tried a new variation on the classic ham and cheese sandwich. This, the sandwich mixto con huevo, was really good. As y'all can see, they present it with a cut-out from the upper slice to show off the perfectly fried egg.
