Day 23: Mansilla de las Mulas to León | Camino Frances 2019 | Camino de Santiago

[@timclausen7749]

woww.....León looks very beautiful....thanks a lot for showing! I think it will be a good idea to make a one day break there for relaxing the body and also looking at the night life

[@IllGetThere]

Thanks so much for watching! It’s a big place with so much to see. 👍👣

[@jessicaoliviatravels]

It feels so great to catch up and watch your journey! Brings such peace and simplicity to my day. Thanks for sharing! ❤️

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@thsesma]

30:32 - That's our pizza place in Leon! I mean... we wouldn't walk through Leon without stopping there. Thanks for the memory - Buen Camino!

[@IllGetThere]

It was SOOOO good!! Such a delicious treat in a beautiful city!! Buen Camino! 😊👣

[@jmayucar]

I see that you like to get up early to start the journey when it is still at night. I hope the little blister on your foot didn't hurt much. How did you enjoy visiting the medieval market of León! And, Rachell, to take good care of yourself in these days of the Covid'19. And waiting for your new experience on the Camino. Thanks for sharing your experience. "Buen Camino" in your life.

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you! I only had three tiny blisters the entire trip that didn’t hurt and went away on their own after a day or so. So I was very lucky! León was wonderful. Thanks for the well wishes! I hope you are staying safe and healthy!

[@tsr3779]

Thank you for taking us into The churches. I feel like the “pilgrimage” part has gotten lost in so many walkers. It would be first and foremost the focus of my Camino. I would love to attend mass daily while walking.

[@IllGetThere]

I'm so happy you've enjoyed the videos. For me, this was a spiritual journey, but understandably for many, it is made for travel, culture, fun, sport, etc. I fully intend to return and my next one will definitely be a combination of both! :)

[@banitesscruz9771]

Beautiful cathedral, I can imagine hearing mass there on day! (27:31-28:48) WOW! I want that pizza (30:38) The medieval performers were funny 😂 I'm happy you had a wonderful day. Stay healthy and safe. God bless!

[@pozu1312]

Yes the catedral of León has the biggest painted cristals in the world.

[@pozu1312]

And the rock that IS made with Is a VERY easy erosionated rock so basically they have to restor the catedral periodically so the buldong dont go down.

Muchas gracias por compartir tus vivencias del camino. Encuentros. Experiencias. Naturaleza. Personas. pequeños y grandes detalles. ¡Buen Camino!

[@simonjohn1013]

I loved Leon, I took an extra rest day in the city. I was there at the same time of year, the medieval fair was a blast. Looks like you had a lovely time. Thanks for the video.

[@IllGetThere]

It was wonderful! So glad I was there during the festivities. And glad I was able to get some sleep that night, lol! Those Spaniards know how to party!

[@reed0199]

At 31:38 The Leon Festival gets rolling.

[@vernonprevatt-usmc]

Hurray, great to see the latest video!

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you for your patience! 😊🙏👣

[@vernonprevatt-usmc]

IllGetThere . Watched with my two grand daughters last night, they are now fans! And, we added a Spanish tortilla to the Easter Brunch menu 😀

[@IllGetThere]

Vernon Prevatt Oh, how wonderful!! The tortilla de patatas is absolutely one of those dishes that I make when I’m feeling nostalgic for the Camino! I’m so happy to hear you’re sharing the joy of the Way with them. Have a wonderful Easter with your loved ones! 😊🙏👣

[@anneoestreicher7333]

I spent a semester in Leon when I was in college so it made me happy to see your video from there.

[@IllGetThere]

Oh, how wonderful to have really had the time to live in the city and really experience it! I’m glad I could bring a little bit of nostalgia back for you. It’s a beautiful place!

[@carlosmiranda-gl2pf]

Adorei seu dia livre em León. Vou esperar seu próximo vídeo até Hospital de Órbigo, Vc está 10 dias na minha frente...!!! Rsrsrs....no dia 04 de outubro eu estava chegando em Logroño...!!! Bjs Raquel....!!!!

That same day I arrived in Burgos and ended that year my Camino to the next one ( I guess this year...) ¡Buen Camino!

[@IllGetThere]

Glad you will be returning! Buen Camino! 👣

[@johnduncan9749]

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you!

[@mustafacosta1945]

Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing.

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you for watching! 👣

[@DStadelli]

What a nice surprise to come to my office this morning during these tough times and to find your recent video.You allowed me to retrace our journey from Mansilla de las Mulas to Leon last October. You continue to bring back those wonderful feelings of the Camino. Grazie mille Rachelle! One more thing....what was the name of the albergue you stayed at in Leon?

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much for your kind words!! The lodging info is in the description box, but was the Hostal Alda Pilgrim León. I believe it’s a chain and it was very well kept. Would definitely stay in another one! I hope you are staying safe and healthy! Be well!! 🙏👣

[@karenmontreal]

yayyyyy so happy to see day 23

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much for watching! 🙏👣

[@vkhk4734]

LOVELY!!!!! Fantastic road - fantastic women! Thanks!

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you for watching! 👣

[@SlogOnTheTyne]

20:36 for a split second I thought you were filming yourself on the toilet!.. I was like WHAT THE...!!

[@IllGetThere]

lol!!! I recorded a lot of things, but rest assured you will never see that!!!! 😂

[@robertrichards8215]

I thoroughly enjoy your camino videos, especially when you show the interior of where you stay. I did not understand the name of the place where you stayed in León. What was the name? Thank you, Robert

[@IllGetThere]

I note my lodging information in the description box of each video, but I stayed at the Alda Pilgrim León-I believe the Alda is a chain. Wonderful accommodations!

[@doxiedog115]

That festival looked so fun! The hostel looked clean. Just a question did you run into any places that had bed bugs and how was sleeping in a room full of people snoring. That’s my concern if staying in albergues. Thank you love your vlogs. Are you going to do other caminos and if so what routes?

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much for watching! My advice for anything is to try stuff out. For snoring, definitely invest in good earplugs that work for you and bring multiples. Try them out beforehand and see if they are comfortable and block out enough noise. You can buy no frills ones overseas. I only encountered bug bites early on, but can’t say they were necessarily bed bugs. Must be diligent about checking your bed and surroundings. I brought a thin sleeping bag liner that I treated with permethrin and I always used it even when places provided sheets. Sorry for such a long reply, lol! I long to return to the Camino and hope I can do any and all routes in the near future. Don’t hesitate to reach out for any other questions. Buen Camino!! 🙏👣💗

[@tornghost]

How did you hike all that distance and arrive already by 11:30?!

[@IllGetThere]

It was a fairly short day, about 18km, and relatively flat except for a few hills. Also, have been building endurance and speed after walking 3 weeks. 👍👣

[@JANNET276]

Hello, I suppose that now in the quarantine you will finish uploading the videos that are needed on the Camino de Santiago

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you for watching! I will continue to try to upload once a week until the very end of my journey.

[@miyagi1775]

Leon is lovely, I took a zero day in Leon. The only place on the Camino where I stayed 2 straight nights. I stayed at a hotel, so I wasn't restricted by albergue curfew. What??? No singing?

[@IllGetThere]

Glad you enjoyed extra time in León!

[@chrissygravitt9196]

Was the pizza good?? It looked Amazing!

[@IllGetThere]

It was sooooo good!! Ran into some friends and they helped me finish it, lol. It was huge!!!

[@richardcarbajal7015]

question, I know that you didn't end your Camino in Leon. Is there some reason your daily episodes from Leon onto Santiago haven't been posted?

[@IllGetThere]

I upload about once a week since they each take hours to edit and process.

[@davidwallace8353]

Hi Rachelle... what is the name of the albergue you stayed in Leon?

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you for your question! Hostal Alda Pilgrim León. All the lodging info for each town is included in the description box for each video. Buen Camino! 😊

[@carlosmiranda-gl2pf]

I loved your day off in Leon. I will wait for your next video until Hospital de Órbigo, You are 10 days in front of me ... !!! rsrsrs ... on the 4th of October I was arriving in Logroño ... !!! Kisses Raquel .... !!!!

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you for watching! 👣
