      Days ??? Logroño-Navarrete-Azofra-Santo

      14. april, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 81 °F

      The last several days are a bit of a blur. The preplanned next leg was to walk Logroño to Nájera, which is almost 18 miles. I just didn’t feel up to walking that far again, so I did what I thought would be an easy 8 miles. It felt like it lasted forever! In retrospect, I don’t think I gave the distance the credit it deserved- 8 miles isn’t nothing!

      Upon entering Navarrete, I ran into some Camino friends. We had a nice time sitting on the terrace and relaxing. Talking with one of them made me consider more what I want this Camino to look like- why am I here, what do I want to get out of it? It’s hard to think much while walking because I’m constantly paying attention to details- am I developing any hot spots on my feet? Did I miss a sign for the path? How much further should I go before I take break? What am I going to eat and where am I going to sleep tonight? Plus the frequent self talk of “you can do this!” In speaking with her, I’m realizing that it’s less important for me to walk every step of this path and more important for me to have that time to think and pray. I’m learning that my ideal distance is 8-13 miles in a day, so I think I’ll be cutting a fair amount of the Camino out along the way.

      I’m more than 25% done with the Camino and have walked more than 100 miles so far. Tonight I’m staying in a hostal with a couple of Camino friends- we have comfy beds and our own bathroom! I walked 10 miles this morning in about 3.5 hours- I’m not a fast walker by Camino standards, but I never thought I’d be thinking of 10 miles as an “easy” walk.

      Day 9 Navarrete and 10 Najera

      19. april, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

      Heading to Naverette was mainly vineyards and pavement. A somewhat easy 24km walk but our feet and legs still hurt from the daily pounding. No blisters anymore, just aching muscles.
      It's FIESTA time in Najera celebrating what else but wine....vineyards are everywhere. 5 refills for 10euro...I'm in😁 Gave ourselves a break today with only 16 km. Next few days will be tough with longer walks and higher ascents. Onwards!Læs mere

      Viana to Navarrete

      24. april, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      Today as we passed through the very large city of Logroño, we left the beautiful basque region of Navarra, and entered the region of La Rioja.

      La Rioja is the second smallest autonomous community in Spain and the smallest along the Camino Francés. This region has also has made its mark on the world as one of Spain's largest producers of wine. We will enjoy it while it lasts, which is only about 60km worth of walking along the camino. 🍷Læs mere

      25. april, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      What a day! 🌄 Covered 29km from Los Arcos to Logroño and was greeted by the most amazing pink sunrise. It felt like nature played florist, blessing us with gorgeous views all along the way. 🌸🌿 After trekking from an okay room last night, we've arrived at a beautiful spot to rest. Now showered and rejuvenated, we're ready to explore the city and enjoy some delicious dinner. Can't wait to see what Logroño has to offer!Læs mere

      Santo Domingo

      28. april, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      🌞 Today's walk from Najera to Santa Domingo was a true feast for the senses! The vibrant red rocks illuminated by the spectacular sunshine set the perfect backdrop for our 23km journey. ☀️ Along the way, we indulged in a tranquil mid-morning picnic breakfast of yogurt and muesli in the midst of nowhere, surrounded by nature's serenity. 🥣 Now, we're settling in at an enchanting old monastery, where history whispers through every stone. 🏰 No words can capture the magnificence of this experience! 🌿 #CaminoDeSantiago #NatureWalks #MonasteryStay #BreathtakingViews 🚶‍♂️🌄Læs mere

      La calle más famosa de Logroño, disfrutando de un Rioja con Jiri (Jorge en Checo). Un checoslovaco que vive en Tenerife y con una vida muy divertida. Aparte de los pinchos, estas piparras fritas estaban buenísimasLæs mere

      Day 6 Sansol - Navarrete

      2. maj, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      34.5km (176.1 km from start). 40.000 steps. 6h 45min with breaks. 2420 calories

      Long day today. After great breakfast (ham, cheese, eggs and juice) started day with painkillers. First 10 kilometers are known as “knee wreckers” and my would definitely preferred another route. I was in so much pain. Starting to realize what is it I am really doing. Getting to Santiago in 26 days is VERY optimistic.

      Said goodbye to Judita from Lithuania. We shared the road in almost 2 days - she was a great company. We said goodbye in Logrono where she went on hunt for blisters treatment and I looked for pharmacy and some additional painkillers for my knees.

      Walked last 12 km very fast - just wanted to get to hostel and rest my old body 😂

      Getting into the rhythm

      2. september 2019, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

      It has been a few days since I last posted an update and now I feel we are finding our camino rhythm. Get up,grab a coffee, walk,then stop for brekkie usually a potato frittata another coffee, walk some more. Eventually we reach albergue/hostal. Then first job is a shower 🛀and to wash our clothess then a Náp or rest. Then we go in search of food.🍕 .Bars And cafés offer pilgrim meals around 9-16 euros which are 3 course meals with Bread water wine. Often they can tend to be a very carby offering. They differ in quality and amount. sometimes we buy food and cook ourselves and sometimes we get a pilgrim meal.. Tonight we made egg bacon🍳(for mo)omelette(for mark)and chips.we are in santa domingo de la calzada staying in a cisteine monastery,not the cistine chapel as I first said!
      Luxury tonight as we have our own room for the princely sum of 10 euros. It was 7 for a bunk in the dorm. Its basic but at least we have it to ourselves and no one can hear us snore!💤
      We walked 15 klms to get here it was a beautiful mild day. In fact its a bit cool tonight. The landscape is fields and vineyards with mountains⛰ in the distance.blackberries, fennel,pink thistles and sweet peas Line the path. Today we had a few hills to climb but we are better at those now. Im still slower than others but i dont care,i put some music on my phone put my ear buds in and bop down the road. Im singing away and enjoying it so much. Sometimes i even dance if the song takes me.
      Today we had a discussion about happiness as we walked and what we think it is. A nice little bit of thoughtful introspection.🧠
      Since i last wrote we sampled the delights of tapas in Logroño. Theres a whole street of tapas only bars,each competing to deliver ( i didnt see any liver though,bum bum!)the tastiest morsels. So many yummy things.we got a mushroom fritters,cow cheese with berries and i had pork slice also. It was a buzzing place with familes out on friday Night. Back in our hostal we could hear the partying carrying on till the next morning, only at 6 ish did it cease. Just in time for me to catch an hours kip before we set off for Navarrete. 😪
      The path out of Logroño was through a lovely green expanse of recreation grounds so it was a walk in the park really.😂

      la rioja

      19. oktober 2019, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      die pilger haben uns heute morgen geweckt. so sind auch wir früh gestartet. die stimmung war phantastisch.... wir hatten beschlossen, nicht dem pilgerweg zu folgen, sondern dem gps. im ersten teil hat uns das gps auf eine unglaublich wunderschöne route durch das bekannte rioja-gebiet beschert. der zweite teil bis nach logrono war etwas "schneller". wir landeten mal wieder auf einer schnellstrasse. die autofahrer haben aber extrem rücksicht genommen. hier in spanien sind die leute extrem hilfsbereit, zuvorkommend und kontaktfreudig. was wir alles schon an positiven erlebnissen hatten, war unblaublich. in logronos haben wir noch bremsbeläge für das vorderrad für nik gekauft und hatten eine tolle unterhaltung. der besitzer des fahrradladens hatte eine alte autogrammkarte aufgehängt von miguel indurain. nik fragte ihn dann, ob er ueli sutter kennt; ebenfalls ehemaliger radrennprofi. und siehe da: er kannte ihn. wir nahmen dann gemäss gps eine angebliche abkürzung; welche etwas sportlich wurde. zuerst durch wunderschöne olivenhaine, rebberge und sogar quittenbäume und dann das nichts. alle kinder mussten die carla von hinten schieben und nik und corinne vorne ziehen; alles natürlich von hand. wir haben es geschafft und der lohn war, dass wir uns frische trauben geklaut haben. da wir ja keine unterkunft gefunden hatten, haben wir uns die option des camping-platzes offen gelassen. der camping war wirklich noch offen und wir geniessen nun wieder einmal das camping-leben. nik musste noch einkaufen und den offiziellen stempel des camino di santiago abholen. da gibt es eigentlich mehrere möglichkeiten: touristenbüro, kirche oder hostal. touristenbüro war geschlossen und im hostal wollten sie uns ja nicht. deshalb beschlosse nik, in die kirche zugehen. es war eine wunderschöne goldene kirche und die begegnung resp. die stimmung in der kirche war unglaublich einladend für eine meditation von 30 minuten. der wetterbericht meldet für morgen eigentlich regen; obwohl es momentan noch nicht danach aussieht. wir nehmen die tage, wie sie kommen und entscheiden spontan. es ist einfach zu schön.Læs mere
