And thus ends a week of walking
May 28, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 75 °F
Like I've said before this map is very deceptive

Hard to believe that it was a week ago that I set out from St Jean and walked 1st 8km...Read more

Day 13
Logroño
September 30, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Not much to report of the end of our day.

While eating at Café La Rua, the skies opened up. It started raining Gatos y Perros! We were exhausted. So the last 4+ miles of our 17 mile walk, became a bus ride into the city.

But we made it to Logroño. We have left the Navarre region (no more Frontons) and have entered the Rioja region.

We are recovering with a Rioja prescription medication.

Tomorrow is a day off in Logroño.Read more

Day 13
Rainbow Connection Los Arcos to Logrono
September 30, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
There is an upside to a day of drizzling rain, RAINBOWS! We saw many rainbows today on this leg of the Camino.

We also saw many vistas thar reminded me of patchwork quilts, with crops of grapes, olives, asparagus and I'm not sure what else. We also saw a different variety of grape growing that is a bushier and the grapes are tiny.

Happy we are in an AC Marriott for the next 2 nights. No walking tomorrow!We'll have tomorrow to explore the city of Logrono.Read more

Day 14
2 Nights in a Mariott in Logrono
October 1, 2022 in Spain ⋅ 🌙 16 °C
What a treat it has been to be in a nice hotel for the past 2 nights! Today we took a break from walking the Camino. I feel like a new person. We have clean laundry & are rested. We did do a lot of walking today exploring the old part of the city of Logrono. The weather was perfect, sunny & mid 70s. We were outside walking all day. There were lots of children out with their parents. Parents were socialing with their friends & the kids were entertaing themselves playing card games or chasing pigeons. One of the highlights in the old city was visiting the Cathedral of Santa M de LA Rondanda. We got smoothies, gelato, beer and ate a delicious dinner out on the city Square tonight. There are many tourists here, it's going to be a hopping Sat night!

All day long we kept bumping into Camino friends we have walked with or eaten with. We all forget each other's names, but there is a real sense of community.Read more
