• Najera to San Domingo - cold but lovely

    1 giugno 2024, Spagna ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    Set off at 7 this morning after a night punctuated by loud revels outside the window. It really didn’t look like a party town but clearly transformed after we turned in for the night!
    A beautiful morning - unexpected because the forecast was just for cloud.
    Quite an easy 20k today with lots of glorious views - again I would love to be able to paint but I don’t have a painterly bone in my body.
    San Domingo is the cathedral town with the interesting story about chickens (see last year’s blog). The one place where it looked as if I could eat something doesn’t open for food until 8 so not sure that’s a runner
    Instead persuaded a bar to make me a cheese sandwich and chips so all good!
    Cress is doing lots of drawing and I have caught up with my Spanish following a walk around the town and the cathedral. Still in search of ‘horse of the day’ for liv so will go about again in a minute so look for it.
    I think the pictures will be more interesting than the words today!
    Had a glass of wine in a sunny square by the cathedral with lots of music and dancing from supporters of the local football team - assume they won today. Then another glass of wine with Bernie, David and Linda back at the sandwich place. Major works going on to erect a functioning tv outside for the champions league final - might be another noisy night but think we are facing the right way tonight.
    Met up with Nick from last year who is the same as ever minus calf injury so he’s carrying his bag. Will be good to spend a bit of time with him again
