All other peregrinos have now passed us. We are alone in the wilds of Spain with only the wildlife for company. Spring is arriving now. The almond blossom is out and we are deep in the wine producing region of Rioja. The best wine we have ever tasted. All thoughts of home and normal life have now vanished. We are in the moment, at one with our surroundings and quietly aware of moving in time and space towards Santiago. Our first coffee in the morning 2 hours from the refugio is unbelievably gorgeous and we look forward to it for 2 hours!
We have the pilgrim menu every evening in a restaurant for approximately 10 euros consisting of all local dishes. As we write we are in a hill top village overlooking the vineyards having a sticky or two before moving on to our next refugio.
Surreally this morning we sang the Camino song with the host of the refugio who is French and 75. It does not get stranger than that´.
Our next stop in Najera.
