Walkers: Jill, Niki & Phil

Jill & Niki's last walk
Phil's first

Dianne was up at 05.30 for the drive to Bilbao & her flight to Stansted.
She'll be back out on the Camino for Week 7: into Santiago & out to Finisterre.

For the Walkers it was Breakfast at 07.30, as usual.

We soon left Puente, crossing the Rio Arga over the Roman bridge.

Much of the day we were walking close to two horses & their riders.

Today's walk was across rolling countryside with beautiful hilltop villages every few kilometres.

It is the start of the vineyards; the grapes were ready for harvesting.
No one will have missed the few we tried; the sweetest grapes I've ever eaten!

We met with Mel - our Logistics Director for Week 2 - for a coffee in Lorca.
And then for a sandwich in Villatuente.

Estella is a large town for this area of some 14,000.
Very attractive combination of the really old & the modern.

Mel, Phil & I are staying here 2 nights in an AirBnB apartment.

Sunday: Rest Day
