Journey from Villamayor to Torres Del Río

Today, it was a very different day as pilgrim. We left the Albergue with high winds and cold rain. I was wearing everything warm that I had in my backpack.

The journey wasn’t that long, only 14 miles, however, the rain and the cold weather make your sore muscles even more sore. At the end, my calve muscles were killing me.

My Swiss pilgrim friend decided to stay on Torres Del Río while the rest of the group kept going and additional 8 miles. This is what happens in El Camino. You see people over and over at different times.

The beautiful country site allows for reflection. Is is such an open country side and the beginning of the Rioja region. Now, the prefer drinking wine is Rioja or Reoka as my English friends call it.

Dinner tonight was tapas, octopus, calamari and Jamon Ibérico with Rioja wine. Nothing better for a pilgrim

The next few days are going to be difficult with a lot of rain and high winds.
