June 20. Puente La Reina to Estella 21.9km. Lots of rolling farmland composed of vineyards, olive groves, and wheat fields mixed with poppies. With all the rain everything is very green. In response to Mardena's questions, people have been walking the Way for well over 1200 years, since a shepherd boy was led by a star to the remains of St. James. There are special services for the pilgrims (walkers) all along the way, including water fountains, today a wine fountain, special meals, and the albergues (hostels). In some we have had private rooms, but most are like dorm life.


 June 21 Estella to Los Arcos 21.1km Today it poured almost all day, but the scenery was exquisite and the paths were the easiest we´ve had. We´ve had lots of great food;trout, squid sandwich and paella. Tonight there is a special celebration in the town we are in and we are going out on a Tapas pilgrimage, you go from one restaurant-bar to the next, and each one is offering a special Tapa (appetizer)for a very reasonable price. Should be fun!
