Day 3 and Day 4

I have had a busy two days. We walked 21 km on Sunday to Los Arcos. The trail was good and it seemed easy after 28km the day before. We ate lunch by a Fuentes ( fountain) that had a bench and a beautiful view. I had a boccadillo (sandwich) and a naranja (orange) that was left from breakfast.

As we were walking, we saw heard some people coming. See the picture below. They are not pilgrims but tourists on a tour. We were walking through a winery. How funny! I would like to do the Camino on that.

Arriving in Los Arcos we went to the plaza to have food - of course.

Los Arcos to Viana

We walked 18km today but I am tired. We passed into the province of Rioja today and the scenery is still beautiful. Everyone seemed tired on the road today. It was cloudy and there was a cold wind.

As I was going down the path there were 4 people sitting under a grove of trees eating lunch. I looked at my watch and it was noon so I decided to stop. I ate with Stefan from Germany, Kat from California, Wilma from Holland and Janny from Melborne. They were all walking the Camino alone. It was a wonderful lunch.

In Viana we stopped at a new albergue for a bed and after we talked the woman she called her sister who came to get us. Spanish was an issue again but we followed her to her place. We are staying at a Casa de Rural which is like a Bed and Breakfast. It is brand new and lovely. The couple who run it are very helpful.

Off to have supper!
