Long day today because we decided to carry on and leave our Camino family in the previous town. I'm sure we will see them again. We walked the extra 8 km because it was a cool, rainy day. Nevertheless, @18 miles was enough. Perhaps the most interesting part of the day was the visit to the famous wine fountain. You can choose water or wine - as much as you want. It was 9:00am so for once I restrained myself.... I knew this was on the route today so last night I bought a bottle from the Bodega for dinner. Quite nice.
It feels like we are in the middle of nowhere - only 7 walkers in this albergue and we have the two- bunk bedroom to ourselves. The bathroom is downstairs and outside, so this is not for everyone. But the bed is lovely and for 7 Euros per person can't complain too much.....It is quiet if one skips the typical rest stages. A bite to eat in the one open restaurant and tomorrow on to Logrono - the Capitol of Rioja - for more Pintxos and vino.
