Day 7: To Estella

It was another beautiful day for our trek from Puenta La Reina to Estella. All in all today was just less than 17 miles. (38,610 steps).
Just as we were leaving town, we passed an old church (there are lots of those here) and heard singing so we stepped in to find the beautiful sounds of a nuns choir. We then walked down a wildflower lined path through fields towards the town of Cirauqui. It’s a really pretty little town that looks like most of it hasn’t changed in many hundreds of years. Leaving the town, we walked on a really really old Roman road and over a really really old Roman bridge. We then continued through several other charming Spanish towns. Lorca where we stopped for lunch, (I had a tortilla (not what you think of in the states)), Villatuerta, and of course Estella. This evening we were pretty tired and staying in an apartment, so Dorothy picked up some fresh cherries and I ran out and got a bottle wine, fresh bread, Jamin (wonderful cured meat) and a jar of artichoke hearts. It made for a wonderful dinner!Read more
