      Day 8 to Najera

      14. mai, Spania ⋅ 🌩️ 14 °C

      Had a little drizzle this morning and a cool day... a blessing since we walked far... (29.5km - damn... we should've just walked in circles to tick)

      I can feel my calves today!!!

      Saw a lady (video clip) who really struggled to walk. Hats off to her for keeping going. And a bit of appreciation for my body, fitness and what I can do physically.

      So many similarities between walking the Camino & the Comrades... everyone really just want to see you through. And so many different people you meet on the road.

      After our wine flew from the fridge... and it was all on the floor... we had to get more... and during supper the rain, thunder & hail came! So instead of going out... we stay in      Les mer

      Day 11 To Najeria in some rain

      17. mai, Spania ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F

      We are in the Rioja region, known for its wine, and we hiked through so many vineyards today. It was misty and a little rainy in the afternoon, so i got to wear my favorite raincoat. After lunch in Najera, we toured the Monestery of Santa Maria, a Benedictine monestary built at an entrance to a cave. Our apartment is fabulous, located near the cliffs.Les mer

      Day 12 Past fields of poppies to Santa D

      17. mai, Spania ⋅ ☁️ 52 °F

      That field of poppies! A beautiful 23k hike today to Santo Domingo de la Calzada, where we are spending the night at Abadia Csitercence, a convent run by the sisters. After looking around the Cathedral of Santa Maria, built in 1504, we climbed up the dark and scary bell tower to see a panoramic view of the city, including the Camino path we will follow in the morning. .Afterward, Kristina and I splerged on a dinner at Los Caballaros, a Michelin restaurant. I would recommend this restaurant for wild boar lol.Les mer

      Logrono to Najera

      22. september 2023, Spania ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      After a very lively noisy night outside our windows we blearily got up and set off again in the dark for another long long day of walking. People of Logrono were still partying from all the wine festival celebrations and the street cleaners were out water blasting the streets.
      It seemed quite a mission to get out of the city but it is a very pretty city , with a big river and is the capital of LA Rioja . It is a big university town, hence the feeling of being in party central!
      We finally found our way out of the city and it was pleasantly cool. We walked through more wineries helping ourselves to the bunches of grapes as hasn't had breakfast. After about 12km we walked into Navarette high on a hill (of course) . The boys had hearty bacon and eggs and us girls had delicious croissants which we felt we thoroughly deserved. We all felt a bit weary today so we just plodded along clicking off the kilometers.
      As you walk you do meet different people and today was Pamela from Indiana wearing a short skirt with huge strong legs! Lots of interesting chat with her, then a young Sth Korean boy who had terrible blisters so gave out advice on that problem. It's amazing how simple life becomes on the Camino, Rather then worrying about the leaders debate or the rugby world cup we are focusing on where the next cafe and toilet will be and what the state of our feet are. I must say I am very proud of my bunion afflicted feet! They do the job and none of our 8 feet have blisters!
      So on and on we walked with a headwind but at least it was cooling. They were harvesting the vineyards by hand and so lots of activity. We lay beside a vinyard and rested for awhile having nuts and lollies for lunch plus more grapes!
      Finally after a long hard slog through some not so pretty scenery we walked into Najerra with a quaint old town section where we are staying and it's so lovely and quiet! As we sat at a bar having a beer on arrival, Jane and I were laughing at our appearances of the delightful socks and sandal look ,but did we really care after walking 29 km ( 44,000 steps) , not at all and boy the beer tasted good! Off out soon to dine by the river and feeling rather hungry.
      I hope the awful weather in the South stops and the Warriors win! The rioja wine awaits!      Les mer

      Logrono to Najera

      18. september 2023, Spania ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F

      Well, first a confession: I'm just now emerging from a cranky, hangry phase. That, combined with the fact that Najera is just not as well preserved or charming, has colored my view of this stage. It was long (18 miles). It was vineyards as far as the eye could see, which is lovely but somewhat monotonous (I know, Camino hell!). And we had no pilgrims walking with us because many of our new friends had scheduled rest days in Logrono.

      Our midday break was in a charming town called Navarrete (pop. 2,900), where we did as in Spain and partook of a small Radler to speed us on our way. A 16th century Church of the Assumption there was stunningly ornate. Its wooden floors had me wondering why they dared have real votive candles (in addition to electric ones).

      We walked three hours from there through Rioja country. Finally re-encountered the Belgian couple who has stayed at many of the same hotels as us and got their names: Bruno and Marie Martin. Also snapped a pic of our Italian friend (who speaks no English), Rogelio.

      After arriving very tired and hungry in Najera, we found our accommodations somewhat lacking, the town somewhat ghost-y, and where there was action there was no real food. Hence the hangry spell. Found something to tide us over then picked up pre-packaged cano de lomo (more cured pork) and cheese and fruit for our breakfast and headed back to the *penthouse apartment* that is not anywhere near as nice as it sounds. Two plusses: the hosts provided a free bottle of local wine (variety unknown as they private-labelled it, but plenty decent), and it has a rooftop terrace with a view of the cliffs that are a backdrop of the town.

      Crankiness aside, we remain grateful for the chance to see how differently people live--and maybe by the end of the trip we, too, will enjoy four-hour lunches and dinners that don't start till 8 pm!      Les mer

      A big day today, almost 30km! But a fun walk that was really pretty. I’ve abandoned my tennis shoes for the moment and I’m walking in my sandals which has been much more comfortable on my Achilles. Fortunately no big aches or pains today! Tonight I had dinner with a new friend from Poland who told me about her Ukrainian grandparents who fled to London to safety. I have appreciated hearing the stories of others so much.Les mer

      Exploring the heart of Spain.🚶‍♂️🍇 From Navarette to Najera, We've braved both rain and sunshine today. Our feet might disagree, but the spirit is soaring!
      Just checked into our apartment and made our way to the local bar downstairs. I'm amazed by the warmth and friendliness of the Spanish locals here. Language barriers? No problem. Laughter and smiles are universal. 🌍💬🤣

      Najera

      8. juli 2022, Spania ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F

      Our mantra, from the start of our adventure, was to have our own Camino- to do it in our way. Today, Maria and Cyndee decided to take a break and rest their weary feet. They took a bus to Najera. Marjory and I started out at 6am, and walked for 7 hours, covering 30 kilometers. It was even terrain, on a dirt road, and we had a cool breeze for the entire trip. We saw a shepherd, driving a herd of sheep on the trail we were hiking. His boarder collie kept them all in line! We have been seeing lots of beautiful wild flowers, including the red poppy in the photo below. We also saw this beehive structure- not sure what it was, but I'll let you know when I figure it out.🤔If you look closely at the photo of Marjory and me, you can see a huge black bull on the hill behind us. This week, in Spain, is the celebration of Saint Fermin and the running of the bulls. We got out of Pamplona before the madness began! Finally, I snapped a photo of this street art before we left Logrono. She just seemed to call out to me😁. Love to you all.Les mer

      Nájera from Navarette

      12. juni 2023, Spania ⋅ ☁️ 72 °F

      Today's walk was brief and fairly flat;
      the weather mild.

      I met Kristan along the way and enjoyed hearing about her journey to get here. We tried a brief detour to find a coffee, but were not successful. We did, however, manage to manifest a bedding store where she bought a sheet to make albergue life more comfy. That was a fun win!

      After finding our lodging and cleaning up a little we met down by the river to eat a snacky lunch of chorizo w bread, apple, and tomato. Yum.      Les mer
