Navarette

The camino takes a different shape today. We are four on the road with El Capitan providing instructions from base camp in Logroño. 

There the co-catedral peculiar 3 faced timing device shows a time of 4hrs 47 mins 58 seconds. The reasoning unknown, and I suspect not a great success, but keeping good time. 

Approaching Navarette, and one of many in Spain, the Osborne Bull is silhouetted on the hillside. Once an advertisement for a particular brandy now an iconic image enjoyed and retained by the general public. 

The Bull can't be missed but Navarette is a the crossroads of the Camino Frances and the Ignatius Pilgrimage. Stretching from Bilbao to Barcelona summertime pilgrimages are taken to remember St Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuits. Our guest house is aptly called Posada Ignatius and has much history attached to it.
