Made it to Villamayor del Rio

This short walk (11.4 km) took many hours because of the bar crawl, long siesta in the shade of the church in Viloria de Rioja and a very long telephone conversation with Andrea about whether Leo (21), one of my grandsons, might walk with me for a few days. And when she realised the difficulties I was having booking accommodation for the next few days she booked for me all those of the remaining days which I had not yet booked. Great relief for me! I had not expected this problem.

I am staying at an albergue in a private room, but shared bathroom. And when I unpacked my water sac it had not leaked at all, so even the protective drysack was dry inside!

So this was another beautiful and not too difficult day. I enjoyed the bar crawl - there were so many of them. I think I will make a habit of bar crawling.Read more
