Tuesday 26 September warm 

A little shorter day as we took a taxis about 6km to a nearby hilltown.  Several more hilltowns, cute and medieval were on the path.

We walked through Puente, shot of the famous six arched bridge, sister to the one in Pamplona.

My previous Camino (this route) was by bike.  So very different as then I saw mostly roads and the towns.  This time the Román roads, paths of rocks, and some lovely graded roads.  The scenery is, of course, much nicer when it can be observed slowly.

Many excellent views from the hilltown.  This is the entrance to Ciriquia. 

and a road in.

and a road out.

Road eventually becomes agricultural with olives and grapes and almonds.  The soil, a red clay, looked exactly like the stuff that we walked with Therese and Richard in Siena, only dry this time. Was some of the worst “mud” we have ever encountered.

Along the way a young man from Pamplona was putting in a rest spot, camping spot, library, scenic stop in an olive Grove. Rented the space from the owner in exchange for picking labor.

Hay stacks on the way.

Not one hotel has had decent WiFi.  Not the 5 star or this 4 star.  Have had to use Tmobile bandwidth for all posts.  T-Mobile is 2G, at its best, in this part of Spain.

River Ega runs behind  our hotel for the night.
