Day 6 – Estella to Los Arcos

April 14, 2017

14 miles, 22 Km. Another nice, sunny day. Left Estella this morning and it was a bit cool, but the sun soon warmed us up. Day started with a bit of a disappointment. There’s a wine fountain just outside the town, and it was dry!!!! We’ve been looking forward to this for so long! After that there are two options for this section, one that goes through a few towns, and a path less traveled over a mountain which we decided to take. Didn’t see as much in towns, but we got views from far away. Nice green hills and fields with yellow flowers. Finally arrived to Los Arcos. It’s a bigger town than expected. The old part is surrounded by a wall, but it extends far beyond that. Because it’s Good Friday, pretty much everything is closed. There are some religious celebrations going on. The ones in the church don’t allow photography, but we will try to catch some later.
