• Nàjera to Santo Domingo de la Calzada

    May 14, 2023 in Spain ⋅ 🌧 13 °C

    Slept well. It was really difficult communicating with the guy in the accommodation (La Cepa). I think he was South American and had a speech impediment so it was a real struggle to understand his Spanish.

    Had to start late as it's Sunday and the earliest taxi I could get to the starting point was 9.30am. Just stopped once today for about 30mins. It was in Azofra for coffee and water. It rained most of the day and was really cold. Think it's going to be like that for the next few days.
    Booked an amazing hotel and had a long bath.
    Laundrette time again and it was busy. Got speaking to folk in there and 5 of us shared a machine. (2 South Koreans , 1 Spanish, 1 Italian) This is a lovely old town.. Loads of local families out for food. Had dinner with 6 Italians and a German. Was able to speak to Jakub from Germany, Miguel from Bologna and Gabriel from Roma as they spoke English/Spanish. Mushroom festival was amazing. Was chatting to Julianna from Brazil/Portugal/Holland and Maria from San Sebastian for ages. We met in the Laundrette earlier🤣. 22km to Belorado tomorrow. Might walk late as have the great room til 12.
