Grand total: 172 KM (106.8 miles)

Weather: sunny, 50-80 degrees

Time on trail: 8 hours counting breaks

We knew we had a long day ahead of us. Thankfully the hotel offered a 7:00 breakfast.

When we entered the breakfast room it was full of fellow pilgrims we had seen & met on the trail over the past week.

We were able to be out on the trail at 7:30.

Sunrise came around 8:20. Our first large village was Sansól.

Followed by Torres del Rio.

Along the path we came across an interesting place that I would call a rock cairn memorial site. Rocks had been stacked with names written on or near each. There was also a tree with tied ribbons.

From this view point we could see Logroño in the far distance. Only 10 more miles to go.

The next village was Viana where we enjoyed a nice break & lunch. Then 6 more miles to Logroño.

Things we saw along the way.

Interesting mural at a lovely picnic spot where a few pilgrims were resting before the final push into Logroño.

With 2.5 miles to go we took a short break and enjoyed a few almonds. Along the route there are many almond trees. A few days ago a man gave us a few that he had found on the ground. It was time to crack some nuts.

Finally in Logrona. Long day and happy to be finished.

A few people we have met are stopping here and going home. It will be interesting to see how many people we recognize tomorrow.
