    Najera

    March 11 in Spain ⋅ 🌧 52 °F

    We had a nice evening talking with a Spanish couple and a girl from Ukraine. We slept well.

    We were out walking by 8 am. It was cool but initially not raining. We stopped for a coffee in Ventosa and then walked on. We had sandwiches about halfway and it was time for the rain ponchos after that.

    In Najera, we have about 30 pilgrims total which is a lot for winter. Phil and I could volunteer here in the future as they are also run by volunteers.

    Tomorrow we go about 8 miles. We have a private room booked as there really isn't much open for pilgrims for the next 12 to 15 miles tomorrow.    Read more
