17 miles (27 Km) Our day started quite grey and overcast, and it stayed that way for pretty much all of the walk. While it was a bit cold in shorts, it was nice to be out of the sun for the longer walk today. Left Los Arcos and walked mostly on dirt roads, with a few small towns along the way. We thought about stopping in Viana for food, but somehow ended up just going all the way to Logroño. Getting close to the city was not very scenic, mostly industrial and not very clean. By the time we got there we were pretty tired, sore and very hungry. Not too many hills, but there were a few steep ones. Logroño is a pretty large town, with the old town area with cathedral, squares, and lots of restaurants and tapas places, but the city goes well beyond that. We are now in the Rioja region, known for its wines. We Will enjoy food & wine, but first some laundry.
