Frances 2023, Norte (2024)
In light of the current heat - those considering the alternate path out of Leon toward Villavante may want to reconsider! We just helped someone who struggled with the heat (and we assisted to a taxi) also heard comments from 10-12 pilgrims regret taking that route.

Almost NO services , greeted in towns with signs that bars are closed. Guidebooks indicate different info, so be prepared.

Worth noting I’m well accustomed to heat and can say the walk was not enjoyable.
