Enjoy the siesta, you’re going to need it.  Today was another day of walking. It was about 16 kilometers from Logroño to this the town of Navarette. Most of it was just beautiful vineyards. Along the way I met a man that is doing a few days on horseback.  If […]

Be it big or small, each day on the Camino provides special moments. Today was particularly beautiful.  My walk is through La Rioja now. This is the region of wine. So much of this part feels like California. Every moment of the walk today was breathtaking.  My favorite moment was […]

This section of the Camino is very nice because it is so flat. It is much easier to walk and get into a nice rhythm. Today I walked just a bit over 20 kilometers. Most of the Camino was right next to the road which I took full advantage of. […]

Leaving the village before dawn I began walking. It was not long before I came upon a group of about 15 pilgrims all grouped up in the middle of the Camino. A girl asked in a sheepish voice “Have you seen the concha?”  They were all unsure of which way […]

This morning started quite nice. The albergue last night was one of the best on the Camino. I met quite a wonderful group of pilgrims. The couple running the albergue treated every pilgrim like family. I was one of the first to leave this morning in an effort to beat […]
