Our first contact with rain today. Well wet weather anyway as it was only a light drizzle but the clouds were telling a different story. With all of the beautiful weather that we had been having we had been lulled into a false sense of security and our wet weather gear had been delegated to the bottom of our backpacks. Now in the half morning light all our gear was stacked on the side of the path leading out of town as we retrieved our backpack covers and waterproof jackets. Thankfully two hours later the rain had cleared, but lesson learnt.

Indiana Dave took me exploring in the old part -a lot of it ruins- of Najera this afternoon. Set up against the incredible layered mountain backdrop it seemed other worldly.

We are doing a slow walk across Spain and averaging about 21 kilometers a day. So far we have walked over 200 kilometres and still have about 575 to go. According to Fitbit, last week we climbed the equivalent of 801 floors…it seemed a lot more to me.
