Santo Domingo del Calzada

Today was a comfortable day of walking, 21 k, with a cool morning breeze. We started on our way at 6am, and I was able to get this amazing photo of the sunrise, on the trail outside of Najera. We also saw nesting storks on the church steeple, and cave dwellings carved into the side of this mountain! Our albergue, pictured here, was one of the nicest we've experienced so far! We are walking through lots of grape vineyards. They are planted in very rocky soil, and irrigated through a deep well and flume system, that uses gravity to keep the system flowing. Amazing! The vines are so healthy and producing lots of grapes! I have included pictures of my dinner tonight. We ate with people from Germany, Scotland, and New York. It included the biggest prawns I ever eaten, a huge piece of cod, salad, and a piece of cheese cake. Delicious! Love and hugs!Read more
