20.8 km and 4:14 (see map). Or thereabouts.
Good walking through rolling country in dry, mild weather (the forecast afternoon rain didn’t eventuate).
One of the backstreets in Nájera, soon after the start of the day’s walk.
Heading into the countryside, beyond the Nájera town boundary. Still plenty of grape vines.
An hour later and arrive at this village for breakfast.
Company for breakfast – Margherita (from NZ) and Tim (UK).
Back into wheat and barley country.
Approaching Santo Domingo de la Calzada. The blue flowers are cornflowers.
Bike wash for the cyclists doing the Camino.
Tim is having a rest day tomorrow in Sto Domingo, but I’m carrying on. It’s likely we’ll meet up again in the coming wreks, further along the Camino and beyond Burgos. I’ve enjoyed his company these past days (since Los Arcos I think, which makes it four days).
Good you’ve had a walking companion. Many people riding the path?
