Day 8: Villatuerta to Torres del Rio

I walked about 14 or 15 km today to a town called Villamayor, then took a taxi 15 km to Torres del Rio because I knew there was no way I could walk 30 km today. This way I only have 20 km to walk tomorrow to Logrono and I’m kind of on a schedule to get there for the San Matteo festival tomorrow.
I passed the famous wine fountain this morning and used my shell as a vessel to try the wine, which was pretty good. 😊 My walk was nice today because it wasn’t so hot and sunny, at least in the morning. I’m staying at a hostel tonight in a room with 10 women. It can be hard to get a good rest in a hostel, but the cost was €12 plus tax so it’s worth it to rough it every few days. 😜
Foot and leg report: Well, they are tired every day but overall not too bad today. The shorter walk helped. I do have a small blister forming on my big toe, but I’m making sure to wrap it with lambswool and I think I’ll be OK. I’ll be ready to go by morning! 😊Read more
