El Peregringo

This was a perfectly uneventful day. The weather was great, the road was easy. And man am I looking good! ;-)

Still walking through wine and olive country. Since we’re headed into Logroño, the capital of the province of La Rioja, there are quite a few older vineyards around that have been in production for decades. Many of the vines are managed in the old “bush” style rather than the currently more popular “french” style where the vines are trained along parallel wires. These older style vines have to be harvested by hand, while there are machines that can harvest the french-style trained vines.

In the last thumbnail image, our guess is as good as mine as to what the parking sign is for in the middle of nowhere.

Arrived in Logroño at 1pm just as the albergue there was about to open. Logroño deserves a post unto itself… coming soon.
