Logroño – Azofra – 35km I got out of Logroño early today about 7:30 as I knew I had a 29km walk to Najéra. It was quite hot early in the morning so had to slap on the factor 50 and wear my fleece for sun protection. I got to Navarette within two hours andContinue reading “Azofra”

This was a bit of a frustrating day for me. I seemed to be the only peregrino about. Checked out of the room at 11 after a dandy oul breakfast which included brown bread and butter.

The rest of theContinue reading “Torres Del Rio”

Puenta la Reina – Estella 23km Back on the wagon today again with a 22km walk with an extra 1km to the hostel. An absolute stinker of a day in pouring rain and muddy paths. Despite all the rain, muck and feeling like a soggy teabag, my spirit was kept alive by my two weeContinue reading “Estella”

Zubiri – Pamplona 21km Arrived in Pamplona today at roughly 2:30-3pm. A very vibrant city full of busy people and fantastic buildings.

We had mightyContinue reading “Pamplona”
