      Day 11 - To Navarrete

      19 Eylül 2022, Ispanya ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      Day 11 - To Navarrete (Monday)
      13 km; Difficulty 2/3

      Walking these days is a bit tougher than usual. I’m battling a cold which wears me out. My right lower leg, just below my knee, is sore. I think I’m developing a tendinitis.

      Today I walked past a fence that was decorated with hundreds of handmade crosses. It went on for kms. Quite obviously done by pilgrims over likely a long time.
      A landmark in Spain is the ruins of the “San Juan de Acre Hospital”. It was founded in 1185 and it was intended to be a hostel and provide aid to pilgrims. The floor plan was created in the shape of a cross.
      This cow on top of the hill was entering Navarrete. One would think they could get something better to represent them, LOL.
      Beautiful church again and Navarrete! They are everywhere; artistic wonders!

      A Walk in the Park

      29 Eylül 2022, Ispanya ⋅ 🌧 16 °C

      Today was quite literally a walk in a park. After a kilometre or so in Logrono suburbia the Camino took me to a city park followed by the Grande Parc Logrono which spread past the city outskirts into the nearby fields. Another five kilometres and I was at my next nights stay in Navarette.

      The new sandals were a dream and I set Logrono talking with my stylish sock and sandal combination. My wide feet, already splayed more that normal from those barefoot years in Indonesia's steamy climes in my childhood, may be permanently even wider if I walk 600km in sandals but at least my toes aren't numb and ready to fall off at the end of the day. No hobbling was involved. Mind you I felt pretty good the first day after a rest day last time too so let's see how the week pans out. It was flat and mainly paved too so no dust and loose gravel in the sandals on day one, take two.

      I saw squirrels. 😍😍😍 And ducks. The water is low and Spain and it's vineyards are looking a bit worse for wear after their intense summer heat wave. It been trying to rain for several days now but never more than a few drops falls, not enough to wet the pavement. It's colder than I expected but it's a bit early in the season and it's supposed to warm up for a week or two in a couple of days.

      My accommodation for the night is on the main street in another old town on a hill, next to the church whose bell will chime late into the night. I love standing on my little balcony overlooking the Plaza and the street and watching life in Spain. My little balcony on the first floor is about level with the bar across the street that has tables out on the paving in front of the church. Could be a noisy spot tonight.

      This town Navarette, has a bit more life to it. So many of the town's I've walked through so far have seemed almost closed. There has been hardly anyone around except pilgrims and a few shops and bars for pilgrims. Most buildings in these old hilltop towns are shuttered and I wonder if anyone lives there or if they are holiday homes. Maybe the occupants head off early to work in the cities. Navarette is a bit more alive but it feels more industrial and maybe there are some jobs around that keep it going.

      Another easy walk

      23 Nisan 2023, Ispanya ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      We are now at Navarrete after an easy 13 km walk. This is a lovely little town on a hill surrounded with vineyards and the rich red Rioja soil. We walked quite slowly so as not to be too early, arrived at about 12.30, stopped for coffee and also for fresh OJ before checking in and room ready, bags here, and we have settled in!

      It was a perfect temperature for walking, coolish and quite a lot of cloud cover. It actually feels cold now, and I am wearing a fleece that I thought would never be worn again once we left the Pyrenees…weather app says 19° but it is wrong! It has now become a little drizzly, but doesn’t matter, and tomorrow should be dry and still cooler for our 17 km walk to Nájera. We walked out through the outer suburbs of Logroño- you realise it’s quite a bit city and not just the historical centre - and through a big park and bird sanctuary…very pleasant. And also passed the big bull structure high on a hill that is equivalent maybe to our big banana …. you can see it for miles in all directions…anyway, a very good and easy walk…our hotel has a pilgrim menu for dinner so all is well.

      23. Etappe: Santo Domingo (38 km 🙈)

      19 Kasım 2022, Ispanya ⋅ ☁️ 6 °C

      Huj, war das ein langer Tag!
      Ich wusste, dass es heute wohl nix zwischen 16 und 38 km gibt und ich mich trotz schmerzenden Blasen am Ende des Tages wohl für die 36 entscheiden werde - also bin ich schon um 7 aufgestanden, hab mir das Müsli-Beutelchen, das ich beim vom Halbmarathon in Den Haag bekommen und bis jetzt mitgeschleppt hab, über meinen Kokos-Joghurt geschüttet und noch ne Banane dazu geschnibbelt - also ganz viel gute Energie für den Start 💪- und los gings (trotzdem wieder erst kurz vor halb 9, wie immer 😅).
      Heut musste ich mich erst mal warm laufen - 5 Grad, Wind und Regen von vorn, das verlangte mir schon einiges ab und die Blasen schmerzten vom ersten Meter an, so dass mein Etappenziel schon früh ins Wanken geriet. Jedoch gewöhnte ich mich schnell an die Umstände und wurde nicht so Recht warm mit Najera, so dass ich weiterzog. Außerdem gab mir Pierre, der ja ein paar Kilometer vor mir ist, die Info, dass es auch schon nach 32 km eine offene Herberge gibt - jedoch in weniger schöner Umgebung, wie er meinte. Ich musste ihm zustimmen und so entschloss ich mich dann dazu die letzten 6 km auch noch durchzuziehen. Kurz nach 5 war ich in meiner Unterkunft, der kirchlichen Herberge Cofradia del Santo. Dort erwateten mich schon jede Menge neue freundliche Pilger-Gesichter. Auch ein junger Deutscher ist dabei, der mir direkt was von seinem Essen abgibt (nie mit leerem Magen einkaufen gehen! 😉). Und ich lerne von ihm, dass man Kartoffeln auch in der Mikrowelle kochen kann. Die ist nämlich das einzige Kochgerät hier. Ein Italiener "brät" sich darin sogar ein Omelette. Wow! Ich hab die Dinger echt unterschätzt 😂
      Ich werd heut wahrscheinlich ratzefatze einschlafen so kaputt wie ich bin. Für morgen nehm ich mir dann vor, ne kleinere Etappe zu machen und nicht einem französischem Pilger zu folgen, der morgen 2 Etappen zusammenlegen und gleich 45 km am Stück laufen will 😉

      Getting into the rhythm

      2 Eylül 2019, Ispanya ⋅ ☀️ 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 Ekim 2019, Ispanya ⋅ ⛅ 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.Okumaya devam et

      Day 10 Longrono to Navarrete

      30 Eylül 2023, Ispanya ⋅ 🌙 66 °F

      We got a later start, so we decided not to go as far. We walked through more vineyards and saw grapes being transported to wineries. There was also a nice shady walk along a reservoir where we came upon the double decker bus cafe again.
      We passed the archeological remains of a pilgrims hospital.
      We had a 360 view from the park in Naverrete. The city was alive with celebration....a special mass, church bells, music and fireworks well past midnight!

      Short day to Navarreta

      22 Mayıs, Ispanya ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F

      On the road again today leaving City life for a rural walk through a long park to the country again for a quick stop on the way to Najera. We broke up the full stage in half to have 2 shorter days. We spent the evening planning up until next Monday to arrive in Burgos, there will not be much time for rest days in the week ahead as we prepare to change scenes once we got the messata in a week. So we have planned some private hotel bookings so we can be rested after long walking days ahead.

      Today's was a mellow walk with 3 Pilgrim Friends and a wonderful lunch when we got into town. We walked through the cathedral then got settled into our hostal for the night. Trina and I shared a private room with our own bathroom. It is quiet and comfortable and we will walk tomorrow with our friends who are also here.

      Day 12

      2 Eylül 2023, Ispanya ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      Left Navarrete 6.45 arrived Azfroa 12 noon
      14k today.
      Lyn and I have been through the most incredible thunderstorm we have ever had, thunder, ⛈️ lightning 🌩 hail. The lightning was red in colour. The rain fell in torrents, thank goodness we managed to get our ponchos on before it hit us. We did turn back for a while, then realised it was moving away from where we were heading.
      We managed to get to Ventosa, where we caught a taxis to Njaera and then walked in the rain to Azfroa, where we will stay the night.
