< Leon – El Burgo Ranero >

Today we start the hike at El Burgo Ranero and arrive at the Village of Mansilla de Mulas. The terrain is mostly flat along the hiking trail. Mansilla de Mulas is one of my favorite villages of the Camino. Maybe it is the municipal Albergue. Mansilla is a small clean village close to Leon and close to Asturias. The river Esla from Asturias crosses the village and a good place to dip your feet in the cold water. This village had a Jewish population during the middle ages. The streets zig zag which is a feature of Jewish villages. Mansilla has a good town museum. The village has some fortification walls. The municipal albergue has a full kitchen & washing facilities & is well maintained. The town has restaurants, supermarkets & the Alsa bus station.

El Burgo Ranero to Mansilla de Mulas ~ 21 kms. Difficulty 5 /10. Bus service Alsa – from Sahagun to Mansilla & Leon
