    Please plan to stop in Navarrete 8 miles outside of Logrono

    If you really want to treat yourself, try FyA vineyard a couple of miles out of town. Beautiful facility. As we learned, Navarette has a long history of clay earthenware. The vineyard uses huge clay jars as part of their wine aging process. They also have a huge museum of earthenware. Restaurant...

    great video on how to be an ally to LGBTQ+folks on the Camino

    We just finished the Frances route and never seemed to encounter any negativity, just a lot of generous and friendly folks, all happy to be on their journey.

    Phone apps Camino Frances

    I took the Bierley guidebook and cut out all the pages and organized by each of the stages I planned to walk. Once done with the stage toss that part of the book. Has worked well.

    COVID Restrictions and the Wine Fountain on Camino Frances

    The wine fountain is indeed open (April 30 2022). We arrived alone with a tour group. I stood there in amazement watching a lady open the tap and stand there letting it flow down the drain so she could have her photo taken! Unbelievable! I explained to her that there is only a limited quantity...
