LIVE from the Camino Upcoming September fiestas in Navarra (Viana and Logroño)

[Becky 59]

It’s party season in this corner of the Francés, which is good if you like culture noise music and running bulls, but not so good if you are a perigrino who wants to sleep at night. I am here as a hospitalera in Viana and will be right in the thick of things. From Saturday Sept10 until Wednesday September 14, there will be nightly music in the town plaza until 4 am nightly. Bull running starts on Sunday the 11th at 1 pm and 7:30 pm daily (through the center of town, along the Camino. The crowd barriers are already in place!) Logroño will have a week of fiestas starting on Saturday the 17th, which may impact the noise level and bed availability. Ear plugs recommended!

I was there a few years ago during the wine festival. It merited a rest day.

I'm planning on being in Logrono during the feast of San Bernabe next year and am taking a rest day!

It was a lovely surprise to come into town and feel the giddiness of the locals dressed in their whites with red kerchiefs and everything decorated for a party, barriers up and once cleaned up I headed to the plaza to catch in some of the festivities and looked into the ring to see the boys trying to place their ribbons on the horns of the bull who was hellbent in getting to this young man. I got some good photos in spite of my lack of clear view by elevating my phone above the crowds. I was pleased that I attended despite my being tired and my very painful multiple foot blisters. I was staying about two blocks from the plaza and was too tired to object to the nightly celebrations
