Madrid in March then Leon and away

Jackie's big birthday and we're off to Madrid for a couple of nights before heading to Leon, the capital of the camino in Spain for me. Most of the time will be strolling around enjoying the tapas but a day trip to Astorga for the chocolate factory and another outing to Burgos seems likely with a train to Sahagun another distinct possibility. With Stu arriving in El Burgo Ranero on Saturday after walking from Sahagun we might have a coffee in Sahagun with him or afternoon tapa in El Burgo. Either way we will munch our way through the countryside and the city landscapes. On the 22nd Simon flies out from Edinburgh on the Easyjet flight jackie gets back home on so they will seemlessly pass like ships in the afternoon and we will party one last night in Leon before heading off for a short camino culminating in a £7.22 flight from Santiago on MArch 28th. Its hard to not fly at these rates. Our camino will take us up over the hill at Cruz de ferro and then over O'Cebreiro.
