      Day 10 - To Logroño

      18. september 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      Day 10 - To Logroño
      (pr. Lo-gro-nyo) (Sunday)
      10 km; Difficulty 2/3.

      So today I made it the rest of the way…from Viana to Logroño. It was a short walk and I arrived at 1030 am, just in time for mass in the gorgeous cathedral…in Spanish 😞 But at least I went.
      The “wine festival”, a Mardi Gras of sorts, started in Logroño yesterday and will last for a week. So many people, and so much chaos! I was actually glad to leave.
      A couple from Idaho and I were sitting waiting for a restaurant to open for dinner and we met some people from Logrono who spoke English. After some visiting they decided to invite us and cook dinner for us. So wonderful!

      Day 9 - Viana to Navarrete

      24. maj 2023, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      At a glance:
      Highlight: the incredible gilt work in the Church of the Assumption in Navarrete.
      Food highlights: chocolate dipped cookies
      Kilometres walked: 27.11
      # of steps: 35,307
      Elevation gain: an easy 150m

      We are in Rioja, land of grapes and wine. We passed an experimental vineyard of white Tempranillo grapes, a genetic mutation of the traditional red grape. They were experimenting something or other....our Spanish is challenged by research projects ...but each row of vines was carefully marked.
      We were overconfident today, day 9 with no blisters. We ignored our usual rule of taking a break, airing our feet every hour and changing our socks at lunch. Both Trudy and i now have a blister each on our heels.
      Tomorrow we have to get to the Municipal Albergue in Azofra before 3pm, 23k away, else we lose our reservation.
      We are in a private hostel tonight, 2 beds, shared bathroom, a pillow case and bottom sheet, no towels, access to a kitchen for a total of €38.
      Empanadas (ham and cheese) potato chips and cookies for dinner. No lunch, just chocolate and an orange and a few sunflower seeds.

      Viana

      18. september 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

      Kolejny piękny dzień. Pomimo krótszego odcinka jesteśmy bardzo fizycznie zmęczeni ale jest dobra rzecz w głowie i sercu. Nasze ulubione kolory w postaci żółtych strzałek lub niebiesko-zoltych plakietek dają kierunek w przyszłość. Pomału widujemy tych samych ludzi i odwiedzamy się czasami na 100 metrów czasami na dłużej a czasami przy kawie.Dzisiaj było chyba 8 mocnych podejść na szczęście krótkich no i oczywiście tyle samo zejść. Końcówka ciężka bo w pełnym słońcu już bez wody na szczęście zrekompensowało nam całkowicie piękna Viana.
      Z ciekawostek po pierwsze to świątynia w Torres del Rio w kształcie ośmioboku (czyli templariusze) z XII wieku bardzo przypominająca świątynię Eunate do której nie mogliśmy wejść a tutaj mozna było wszystko zobaczyć. W środku nic nie przypomina kościoła ale wręcz przeciwnie arabski mihrab
      Viana to przeurocze malutkie miasteczko leżące na granicy Nawarry i Kastylii. Było ono świadkiem wielu walk pomiędzy oboma krainami. Cezar Borgia zginął w czasie oblężenia miasta a był on synem późniejszego papieża Aleksandra VI.
      W starym mieście jest piękny kościół Santa Maria de la Asuncion z główną fundacja gotycka ale z barokowa okrasa, posiada wiele skarbów i jedna z naw jest poświęcona Sw. Jakubowi pogromcy Maurów - Santiago Matamoros. Ten motyw będzie się jeszcze pojawiał później. To tyle z ciekawostek.😊
      Jutro wchodzimy do krainy win.😁😍❤️
      I thought we were in wine country already for at least 3 days😍! Everywhere around were grapevines with different types of grapes, mainly the dark tiny ones, people are growing them on the balconies and above the garages, too! It looks beautiful ❤️
      They have been lifesavers for us, when on the road we needed some extra sugar, numerous times we just grabbed cluster of 🍇 to fullfil the carbs deficiency 😋. Same with figs, blackberries and almonds, all just in the reach of the hand...
      As they say: don't praise the day before the sun sets, after yesterday's kind day to my feet, today I developed first 2 blisters😳. Dr Tom just finished wound care for them, and hopefully today won't be a painful day😊. I'm posting few more pic from last day in a new footprint 👣. Thank you All for walking with us🥰❤️

    • Torres del Río to Viana

      21. september 2022, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

      Today's route was just a short 11km walk to Viana, a smallish city of about 4000 people.

      Most pilgrims were pressing on to Logroño, a much bigger place, to catch “La Peña de las Uvas”, the pressing of the grapes. We have a preference for the smaller cities. Likely we’ll have breakfast in Logroño tomorrow on the way through.

      It was quite cool when we started walking, about 10C. But sunny and dry and shorts and short sleeved shirt felt great. Perfect weather for walking.

      There was a bit of up and down on a good track through grape and olive growing areas; a stop for a coffee and snack in the bush at Casita Lucia. We arrived at Viana at lunchtime. After getting some necessities from the pharmacy, we had a fine lunch of tortilla with ham, and Coke Zero.

      At 2pm we checked in to Palácio de Pujadas, which is in fact somewhat palatial. Very comfortable anyway, right on the main street and Camino.

      Kevin read that yesterday was World Paella Day and had failed to observe it appropriately so he hopes to make up for that tonight. John will refrain.

      On this leg we left Navarra province and crossed into La Rioja. We think that explains the lack of dual Spanish/Basque signage. Perhaps we’ve left Basque territory.

      Viana

      29. juli 2022, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      On my way to Logroño, I started the day walking with an older German couple. They started walking in Munich!!! That would be 2,700k to Santiago, and they have done over 2/3 of the way, in a bit over 3 months. They started with very heavy packs, as they had to be equipped for the snow. Then they shipped the winter gear home. Legends!
      At one point they decided to stop for a coffee, but I kept going. I walked the rest of the way on my own, at a slow and steady pace.
      I stopped here for a break and a snack at Viana. It was getting very hot, and just sitting in the shade for a while felt great.
      Although I was walking on my own, I exchanged many 'buen caminos' with other walkers, and I could recognise some faces. Then, at rest stops, we can count on those familiar people to look after the backpack while one goes to the toilet, for example. We may not know each other's names, but we're all part of the same big thing and we look after each other.

      Olive trees! There are tons here and they make the most tasty oil. We decides not to take a rest day tomorrow so we walked only 18 km today. Checked in just after noon. Tomorrow we plan on 20km. We are just not sure what shape we'll be in if we do the 28km scheduled.Læs mere

      100 Mile Celebration!! 🥾🍾🙌🏼🇪🇸🎊

      23. april, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C

      Villamayor de Monjardín to Viana
      Day #7 - 100 mile celebration!!! 🎉Today was a total grind but we knocked out a whopping 32k (20 miles!) 👊🏻

      Despite our initial plans yesterday, we were feeling pretty good when we reached the 20k town of Torres del Rio so we decided to push another 10k more through the wind & rain to the next town of Viana. Little did we know how strenuous that last 10.4k would be with many steep ups and downs along the way.

      Our bodies and minds are spent so tonight we treated ourselves to a private hotel room tonight with fuzzy blanks and a noon checkout!!! It even has a bathtub… oh the luxury!!!

      Short walk today about 8 miles. Sandi and I meet a guy Frank and his wife. He was wearing a Oregon duck shirt. We invited them down to the eagles after this is done. Sandi had a rough start she has strained her neck but she is a real trooper and walked on one foot at a time. Buen CaminoLæs mere
