A day's rest made a big difference. Today felt almost good. The landscape was impeccably beautiful- wheat fields dappled with poppies, olive groves, and the endless vineyards. The path was solid, rolling along, not very hilly. We stopped once for some lunch and a couple other times for short rests and arrived at our hotel at Los Arcos by 3:30 with plenty of time to recover for tomorrow. The sun shines and it looks like good weather for the week. 70s.
We're figuring out our pace. Slowing down, doing less miles, more rest days to enjoy our time and the towns in the way.
Here's the famous spot where peregrinos can choose wine or water! It was 8:30 am when we passed by. Note: wine from this Navarra region is excellent.
A view along the way.
The roses hide the rough spots!!!
This man managed the little church and invited us in and then stamped our Compostelas.
This is the church we visited.
Just a hint at the beauty of today's walk.
Go pipello go!
