Logrono

The rising sun trying to break through the clouds.

I left early at 6:30AM for the 30k walk to Logroño.  In doing so I left Basque Country and the Province of Navarre and entered La Rioja Province.

Octagonal Templar Church of the Holy Sepulcher, Torres del Rio  

It was a demanding day.  Besides the climb, there were tremendous winds.   I think I got wind-burn.   Two and a half hours into the 6 1/2 hour walk it began to drizzle a little.  We passed through the lovely little village of Torres del Rio.

Logrono only two hours away.

Logrono is a large city.  The pilgrims are not as noticeable.
