 Estella  - Torres del Rio   28 Km

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.
