Camino Art in Rioja

Enjoy the nice 16 km walk from Navarrete to Najera through Rioja vineyards, olives, and peaches today leaving our Alberge at 9:00 a.m. and arriving around 1:00. Stopped at a cafe for a coffee after taking a .9k detour through an outdoor art exhibition in nature. The Pilgrim who goes off the path gets a reward!

Walked the remainder of the trail with with Henry from Ireland who was on his second Camino, keeping me going at a faster pace, with Cheryl just behind us. We arrived in town in time to stop off at the first bar for a cold cerveza and a rest in the warm afternoon Spanish sun while we waited for Trina to walk into town.

Found my way to the hotel and have been planning our next stages as we prepare to embark on the mesetta after Burgos next week. I can't believe we've already walked over 220 km!Read more
