scruffy1 said:I always try to be on the Camino the week before Easter, great time to walkgood weather, Spring flowers vineyards coming back to life and there are indeed celebrations all Semna Santa. Logrono is nice enough; remember to pick your head up on the way out to see the amazing Mata Moros on the south portal of Iglesia Santiago El Real, on the right hand side. However, do consider starting from Puente La Reina, a much nicer village, several wonderful churches, the bridge of course which should not be missed and with some planning will put you into the hilltop village of Cirauqui, with a lovely albergure serving dinner while remaining open another hour to allow pilgrims to participate in an amazing Possession including the purple cloaked bearers and their hoods, the village virgins carrying the Virgin Mary float, and many other statues walking through the entire village stopping at predetermined spots for prayer and song-a wonderful experience.
