Camino Day 8


LOGRONO – VENTOSA – 29 miles return

This was our first warm day on the Camino. It was still cool when we set off but soon warmed up, and we returned in 22 degrees.


A gentle ascending Camino trail took us around the shore of a large lake at Grajera, then on to the hillside town of Navarrette where the church was being prepared for a wedding. This included the orchestra’s rehearsal of Coldplay’s ‘Fix You’ – a bit ominous for a wedding!

We met Katie and Geoff from New York at the cafe in Navarrete. On the way back to Logrono we passed Esther and Laurence who are cycling from Belgium to Cadiz and are camping in a tent each night. Respect.
