We arrived in León today to begin our Camino de Santiago. Armed with our pilgrims passports, almost no baggage and a handy guide book, we arrived at our first alburges! The sweet nun who opened the door confirmed that indeed we were at an alburge, and then asked us why we wanted to know.
"We are pilgrims!" We said.
She looked at us, and then said "No you´re not!" while laughing. She refused to believe that we had chosen to walk the 300 km with less than the usually seen 20kg on our back.
She did let us in however and we chatted with the other pilgrims before heading out to see León. What a beautiful place and wonderful start to our Camino.
