In our data this stage runs all the way to León, but almost everyone splits it at Mansilla de las Mulas, with its town walls. Up to there, plain and path; after it, Puente Villarente and a long urban walk into León. León deserves an afternoon: the cathedral and its stained glass, San Isidoro and the Barrio Húmedo.
