Camino Day Seven Great night’s sleep on the 3rd floor of an apartment building . We had two bedrooms , but shared two baths with others in two separate bedrooms. Very nice accommodations for ‘pilgrims’. Today, we agreed to sleep late, get breakfast and tour the town of Estella. At 10:45am, we put on our backpacks and headed west. Very easy hike, with rolling green hills and mountains in the background. We passed the Palace of the Kings of Navarre, a 12th century structure, on the way to the town of Ayegui. Later, saw the Iglesia San Pedro de la Rua, a 12th century Romanesque church. The highlight of the day came a mile or so later when we climbed a hill to the Fuente Dr Irache , the famous fountain of wine. After taking a sip of red wine from the fountain ( except Dee – who absconded with a few ounces in her water bottle) we headed across grassy plains and climbed steeply to Villamayor de Monjardin. Right before entering the small town we passed a famous 13th century cistern (Fuente de los Moors). Because of our long day yesterday we decided to call it quits for the afternoon around 3:00pm. We found a small house in a building beneath a multi-story alburgue. Very nice, with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths.
A lifetime experience
