Estella to Luquin

Most of these photos are Estella. I’m beginning to learn that most of these villages are incredibly beautiful little stone cobblestones streets and walled places with amazing bridges and big gates to protect them from invaders. We took the alternate route to Luquin which was a lovely shaded forest walk. Only one bar(cafe/ restaurant) here. The albergue said the bar was open until 3 & then reopening at 6. We went there to get some lunch but kitchen closed and reopening at 7 so Ed cooked us some pasta with churissso & garlic that the albergue had in the kitchen. We shared with another pilgrim from Germany & drank with vino Tinto I got from the famous “wine fountain” where they offer free wine on tap to pilgrims at Irache https://www.irache.com/es/fuente-del-vino.html . We ate on the terrazzo and the light was so beautiful over the fields. I thought if I was an artist be lovely to try & paint the light. There was a cathedral right across from us & from our 3rd floor albergue window the bell was just metres away and when the bell rang we both jumped it felt so close we could feel the vibrations.Weiterlesen
