Estella to Los Arcos - 22km

Quite a speedy 22 km today through vineyards, bush tracks and open gravelled roads. We made the essential stop at the Irache wine fountain just after breakfast.

We only had one brief break today, there were no villages on the Jacob’s route, lucky for brekky buffet supplies! It was very cold , enough for the winter woolies to come out.

Nat and Ian helped a policeman on our walk a few days ago who’d fallen down an embankment with a motorbike. They’ve become legends it seems as many people we talked to today seemed to know about it.

We continue to meet great people, all here with the same dream, different reasons. Father sons, mother sons, mother daughters, couples, friends, or solo.

Many pilgrims we’ve met at the beginning sharing their blister, sickness or injury stories today when we arrived in Los Arcos. Some having to grab taxis or buses.

So far we worked out we’ve walked 253,000 steps, including a days rest. Big day tomorrow with 28km. Feeling rested and nourished, so feeling pretty good.Read more
