Day 1 - Camino del San Salvador
Yesterday, in Leon town, while out drinking the monks brew at 8.5% I had, what can only be described as, an epiphany.
The rain clouds parted and an old gravelly voice boomed out(Monty Pythonesque)…
Ola, Peregrino!
“Your little hairy sticks are rested and strong,
Your poncho is watertight,
And your Brompton is in fine fettle,
You must head north and follow the way of San Salvador,
Through the pissing rain,
He will guide you to salvation!”
From Leon, there starts another Camino that goes north up into the Cantabrian mountains to then descend into Asturias down to Oviedo. So I went to see the nuns in the convent to register for my credentials. I offered to show them my Brompton but they didn’t seem interested.
So today, off I went…Camino number 2.
No wiffy in the hills so il post more pics tomorrow…
El Salvador was a track off ‘Athlete’s’ debut album in 2003. Saw them the following year in Preston Guildhall and their support band was ‘Snow Patrol’.
