Day 8
Logroño –> Nájera (28.9 km/18 miles)
I was not looking forward to getting out of bed today. Not only had I spent the night in a private room (and I’m pretty sure I was the only one in the entire pensión), but I also was about to embark on one of the longest days on my journey. 29 kilometers … what was I thinking?
Day 7
Sansol –> Logroño (about 21km/13 miles)
Today was a short(er) day going into Logroño. I had wanted to sleep until 7 and have an easy day, but alas, we were kicked out of the albergue before 7:30 AM. Thanks. I wish I had gone the extra 10 minutes to Torres del Río yesterday, but I thought it was farther than it was.
At the end of April, I had a three day weekend because of the “May Day” (Worker’s Day) holiday. A friend and I decided we wanted to see another part of Spain that we had never been to before. We decided to travel up north to the Basque region of Spain. We went to Pamplona, Vitoria, and Logroño. We also made a stop in a small village before heading to Logroño. The Basque region definitely has a different vibe than what I am used to in Catalunya so it was something good to experience.
