Left Logrono at 8:00 AM and again headed west. An easy hike through the western end of the city – almost totally through beautiful parks. Had lunch in Navarete (8 miles away) and toured still another incredible cathedral – Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de la Asuncion. The pictures don’t begin to begin to do it justice! Between Navarrete and Ventosa, about 4.2 miles, the trail followed a long straight road, all uphill. It seemed longer than the morning stretch simply because of the monotony of walking a straight concrete road for several miles. Still in Rioja Wine country, and we have clearly noticed that the vineyards as we progress are becoming more and more in bloom. Still a long way from grapes, Arrived at a private alburgue, San Saturnino, in Vintosa about 2:00pm. We are in a top floor room, with five beds – all for our group. We all showered and washed our clothes immediately – a Camino rirual. Had the bonus perk of a large group of clothes lines in the garden behind our rooms. Our clothes dried quickly, as we drank wine and talked with fellow pilgrims from all over the world. Camino life Is very SIMPLE , but incredibly fulfilling!
A lifetime experience
