Crossing the border from Navarra into La Rioja we are encouraged to pick ripe grapes otherwise wasting. Some plantations are currently uneconomic to harvest. With pips but very tasty.
Logroño, capital of La Rioja is a mecca for wines and tapas bars. Outside the twin tower concatedral, which is actually a co-Cathedral and shared with Calahorra some 50kms distant, a family group enthusiastically chat to us in English, French and Spanish. Ian, el niño, is left wearing the Wilbur scarf and hugs all round.
New walking shoes, physiotherapy, blister plasters and pain killers all played a big part in a lesser distance day on the camino trail.
