• Najera, Spain

    September 10, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F

    We walked another 30km today. Again the breeze and 52 to 73 degrees temperatures couldn’t be better!!! I cannot believe that people (Tammy) walk it in 80-90 degrees! It’s beautiful, but it’s miles and miles of vines, olive trees and cut ‘hay’ fields. In this weather it’s terrific. At 90 degrees? I might melt and quit.
    Again with 30km under our belts this will be short. The first photo is of the area’s ( Logrono) Camino symbol. Later, we came upon Marcelo who is an established landmark in himself! He surely does and has been coming daily’ forever’. I believe he explained to me that he recently has walked to Paris. He said he is loco (crazy) for doing it. There ways was more to the story but my Spanish is awful. 👍. Just trust the story must’ve been good as he spoke for awhile. 😅
    There was a monument, if I can call it that, to an age old pilgrim’s hospital, only the foot print is left.
    The next photo odd of a winery road sign and a wine bottle almost as tall as I am. 😃
    We took a break in Navarre at a cafe that abutted to a church, there is scaffolding and men working high above. To be seated so close to history is amazing! The American fried eggs and bacon halfway through our travels today weren’t so bad either!!!! 😅
    I included photos of the terrain we are walking and a dinner menu/ map of our journey. We are presently in Najera.
    We had dinner across from a British couple we had met and a German gal and a gentleman from Germany at our different tables. So many folks! So many stories of where they are from! The Camino!
