Just a quickie. Walked after dialysis to get part of tomorrow’s climb out of the way. Stopped in Navarrete—a lovely little village. I’ve attached pictures of the church here as well as the BEST dinner we’ve enjoyed on the Camino, which is saying quite a bit! We enjoyed paella along with a number of finger foods (I went slightly crazy picking out a bunch of things from the display case with no.idea of what many were!).

Taking a breakfast break as I write this then on to Najera, after an early start to the day.Read more
Traveler Little village?! That church or cathedral looks huge. Beautiful. I tried to comment on the picture with the view of the countryside.... absolutely gorgeous 💜 Thank you for posting these updates 🌻🙂 Buen Camino

Traveler I think they have a population of 3,000. But you’re right—the church is magnificent for such a small village. I need to read “Pillars of the Earth” to better understand the significance of churches and cathedrals in these villages.

Traveler Interestingly, it was very dark when we went inside. Someone behind us noticed a little machine, put in a euro and the lights come on. Wow! What a difference! It was a great place to meditate and pray and then suddenly it was a great place to also take poured!
