Pilgrims pause to watch the sunrise over Los Arcos

Day 7

Today was one of the best days so far. It was a long, hot 29km walk into Rioja vineyard country. But the company was great. I walked with a wonderful lady from Spain, practicing my Spanish as we talked about all kinds of subjects. Chatting away, we got distracted, missed a turn and ended up lost surrounded by vineyards. Thankfully an ‘angel’ (her description) appeared ( driving a truck) and guided us back to the camino path.
