Another busy day in Logrono due to the Wine Festival. Watched the parade and tried some pinchos (tapas). Unfortunately we'll miss the grape treading.

It felt like a longer day in the saddle today - although the Garmin shows we were as quick as any other day. The morning was spent amongst the scenic vineyards of the region and watching the harvest.Leggi altro

Crossed the border from 'La Rioja' to 'Castillo y Leon' today, swapping vineyards for fields of dead sunflowers waiting to be harvested. Thankfully the wind was much lighter today so cycling was muchLeggi altro

Two long hard climbs today (about 200m each) followed by some nice long descents. As a result we covered ground very quickly and got the first half of the ride done by 10.30. A nice cup of coffee atLeggi altro
Viaggiatore Looks very rough some of the route. Enjoy your two days break from the bikes.
Viaggiatore Most of the route isn't like that, but there are some tricky sections - makes it more interesting!

Our easiest ride so far - despite stopping at every village for a coffee we still arrived too early for lunch. Would have been nice to cover more distance, but there are limited accommodation optionsLeggi altro
Viaggiatore Impressive that they weren’t e-bikes. There are a few decent hills on the route!

Bit of a cold start (7 degrees) but morning riding was good fun. Lots of downhill with only one big climb - but it was big. The afternoon was straight as an arrow for at least an hour. The walkersLeggi altro

A relatively easy ride today, although legs were feeling a bit weary after yesterday's sprint. Another day of big open vistas - farmland, wind farms, and fields of dead sunflowers. Mainly flat, butLeggi altro

We took advantage of the speed of the bikes today to do 2 sections of the Camino that most people avoid. The first was the Roman road which adds 2km to the journey and bypasses most stopping places.Leggi altro
Viaggiatore Yes. Day off tomorrow and we are literally less than a stones throw from the Cathedral!
Viaggiatore Will do. It was about 10 degrees when we left this morning and 29 when we arrived!
Great festival, shame about treading the grapes. [Jenny]
Viaggiatore It’s been a nice day. Back to 7am start on the bikes tomorrow though!
