626km to Santiago
 |
| Day #10 When leaving Logroño this was the view we were offered! Sometimes, looking back is worth while! |
 |
| The path that leads the pilgrims out of Logroño is green, pleasant and quiet. What more could we ask? |
 |
| Walking along the Grajera dam was one of the highlights of this stage. |
 |
| A very relaxing green area surrounds the dam. Excellent for birdwatching, trecking and even fishing. "Fish dont't bite a lot," we were told, "but who cares? It's relaxing!" |
 |
| This is La Rioja: green vineyards and red soil... |
 |
| Or should we say "red rocky gravel"? It's amazing how nature takes form, even in the hardest of conditions! |
 |
| A rusty fence "embroidered" with thousands and thousands of crosses improvised by the pilgrims. We couldn't help adding to the number. |
 |
| Navarrete on the background, that's why we're wearing such broad smiles: time for a rest! |
 |
| Just before entering Navarrete, we came across the ruins of the San Juan de Acre Pilgrims' Hospital (1185). |
 |
| The Iglesia de l'Asunción and its gold-plated altarpiece in Navarrete has left quite an impression on Ana. |
 |
| The looming skies... Time to hurry our pace if we wanted to reach Ventosa in dry clothes. |
 |
| Our arrival at Ventosa... in soaking wet clothes! We didn't make it without a heavy rainfall coming down our shoulders after all, but we were glad we had finally made it to our stage's destination. |
 |
| The albergue that would shelter us on this windy night! |
