Day 11 walking Nájera to Santo Domingo

Made it to town by 1:30pm after beginning my walk at 7 am.

Along the way we encountered that horrible sticky clay that when you walk in it gloms onto your shoes and besides threatening to suck you down it makes you feel really heavy.

Here’s a couple of photos of the countryside and this long, interminable hill we had to climb. Fortunately at the top there were some volunteers passing out drinks, fruits and trinkets. All for sale of course. There was also a water fountain for filling your bottles. I proceeded to douse my head in the water. Talk about bringing down your body temperature😮

As you can see the vineyards have given way to farmland. Sunflowers and wheat. On and on and on.

After getting booked into the albergue I did a walkabout. Didn’t have time to get inside the cathedral
Checked out the vegetable store and then found some friends to enjoy dinner with:
