The La Rijoa region is famous for its wine. Plenty of vinyards on the road. If the bottle of wine we had with dinner last night was anything to go by their reputation is well deserved. Had a lovely 3-course meal for 10 euros. 4 courses if you include the wine. The same place was open for breakfast as well so it was a good start to the day at 7am. Plenty of clouds this morning so we wrapped the wet gear around us again. It threatened rain all day but none fell. All my stars must be aligned. The big news today was the muck that we had to walk through this morning for several miles. I didn´t feel too bad when 3 people came past in white trousers and runners. They had to hose each other down at the end of the day no doubt. Had lunch in Santa Domingo in a pastry shop which was very welcome. Gaby did the tourist bit and visited an old Cathedral cum Museum. I don´t feel too much like the tourist thing; prefer to keep all in reserve for the hoofing on the next day. We are staying in an Albergue in an old church. I just did the washing in a place akin to something out of Macbeth. It´s all very communal, with guitars and a piano but it´s all a bit of a racket as far as I can make out. The sleeping quarters are matresses thrown side-by-side but it´s clean with a friendly atmosphere. We have to get our Credencial (Camino passport) stamped across the road in the Bar which suited me fine. They also have Internet which is always a plus. Touch wood, no blisters of injuries to report.
