    Day 4 Torres De Rios to Navarrete 27 km

    I had planned to attend the communal dinner at the 'Hostel' yesterday evening. After being told "to arrive in the dining hall by exactly 19:00" (which brought back memories of my school dining hall schedule), I hurriedly washed my clothes, took a shower, and got dressed. Annie got me laundry sheets for my journey, and they are fantastic. I put my clothing items in a plastic bag along with half of a paper-thin laundry sheet and pour in some water. While taking a shower, I step on the bag repeatedly, then wash the items, and the cleaning is complete.

    I departed from Torres De Rios, La Plata de Oca, at 6 a.m.
    After 6 km, I unexpectedly stumbled upon a quaint breakfast shack. It was delightful to be there, contemplating the last few days.
    Even though I had some kilometers logged, it was crucial to continue in order to achieve 33 km.
    The following section is aptly called 'The Knee Wrecker'—ascending and descending steep inclines, mostly going up!

    After 21 km, I reached the town of Logroño and enjoyed a refreshing drink and tapas. I arrived in Navarrete at 17:00, after walking for more than 10 hours.
    I was exhausted and my legs were starting to ache. Luckily, my feet had remained intact.
