Viana to Navarette (21 km): A walk in the park. Literally.
Woke up at 5 am, left the alburgue (pilgrim´s hostel) at 6. Got to watch the sunrise as we entered the La Rioja region, leaving behind Navarra. First city we walked into was Logroño, capital of this major wine-producing region of Spain. Once we crossed through town, the majority of our hike today took us on this impressively long park trail (about 6 km) outside the city environs. Feet felt great pretty much the whole way through, so today´s hike was literally and figuratively a walk in the park.
Arrived in town at 12:45pm and made myself yet another bocadillo for lunch (today´s creation: chorizo pamplona extra with cucumbers and roasted peppers). Washed it down with a nice cold bottle of 0.80€ Ambar Export beer (can´t get over how cheap beer and wine is here!)
Tonight, think I´ll try some tapas and practice ordering in spanish at Bar Deportivo, next door to our albergue. Thanks to Aleks´constant encouragement, I´m feeling a bit braver about practicing my español.
Adios for now!
