Uterga to Estella

Freezing cold morning. We walked with headlamps up and out of Uterga. We walked through vineyards and olive groves; beautiful Mediterranean views.

We followed an old Roman road and crossed many Roman bridges.

The small towns that we passed through were beautiful, but the streets are airely quiet. We have learnt that this is a combination of many of the restored houses are second homes or holiday homes, some homes are abandoned and lunch is a very significant meal starting around 1pm. This is followed by a siesta. The shops close around 1pm and re open approximately 4.30 until 7 or 8pm. Finding food is therefore a challenge.

In the medieval city of Estella we saw a stunning Roman Church and visited a Roman cloister fully intact. It was wonderful.Läs mer
