• Day 12: Navarette to Nàjera

    September 24, 2025 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F

    Today’s walk was a little over 17 km, which took me about four hours. Pretty easy walking today, although my legs were tired by the time I got to Nájera. I keep hearing that the walking will get easier and I won’t be so tired each day, but I’m not there yet. 🤣
    I ran into a few pilgrims that I’ve been seeing along the way, which is always fun. We usually just have a quick catch up and then we go our separate ways again. I also met some new pilgrims from Connecticut and Boston today and shared a meal with them, which was nice.
    I’ve been listening to an audiobook while I’m walking, which I’m really enjoying. I’m listening to The Covenant of Water, which is a super long book so it might get me all the way to Burgos. 😀 I do like to spend some time just being with my thoughts while I’m walking, but after a while, it’s nice to have a book or music to pass the time because some walking days get really long!
    Off to bed now to rest up for my 20 km walk to Santo Domingo tomorrow.
