Los Arcos to Logroño 30.1km
Note from last night: Tapas were very good and it was fun to try a wide variety of them.
Finally, we have a beautiful sunny day with temperatures passing 30 degrees C (over 90 degrees F). Lunch in a very Spanish town plaza. We watched families visiting with each other and the kids playing with scooters and blowing bubbles. Being a Saturday many people were out enjoying each others company and the sun.
Today was a very long and tiring day. Both of us needed to give our feet a rest. The hike itself was through more beautiful county with rolling hills and many vineyards. There were whole fields of colorful flowers and the fragrence given off was incredibly sweet. We began to see a change in vegetation, from mountain to farmland. Just before finishing our hike for the day we completed our first region of Spain, Navarra, and entered La Rioja, famous for its red wine. It should make for a very buen camino.
Mike and Lorie, it sounds like you are having a great trip, despite the rain. Is it raining all over the world? I think those are song lyrics. It won’t stop raining here in Windom. The food and wine you are having sound delicious. Tapas are great. The scenery looks beautiful. We love the pictures. How wonderful that you are meeting people from around the world. Of course, that is one of the best aspects of travel. It is nice that you met the Dutch couple. Roger’s father was also from Friesland. We wish you sunshine – not mud and rain. Be safe and continue to enjoy every moment of your pilgrimage. We love you, Roger and Chris
