Logroño - Navarrete

Day 12. We walked nine miles through the Parque de la Grajera into Navarette. In the park, Spaniards fished from the bank of the lake right along the Camino while families of ducks paddles across the smooth water. The park gave way to rows of grape vines in one of the many vineyards of the La Rioja region of Spain.
After reaching Navarette, we checked into the Albergue Buen Camino then toured the stunning, 16th century church which was complete with it's own small botafumiero and beautiful alterpiece. We cooked a delicious, spaghetti dinner for ourselves in the albergue kitchen, and shared a bottle of vino tinto.
The Spanish love their parks and churches, and both are growing more beautiful as we travel along the Camino.Les mer
