Logrono to Ventosa

Can you believe it? We are almost a quarter of the way through our route having completed just under 200km. 

Logrono was very festive with everyone enjoying the wine festival. Apparently there were fireworks at night but I didn't hear a thing. When we left this morning, the streets were covered in litter but the clean-up crew was busy making everything presentable again for today's festivities. Yesterday we watched a man drop and break a bottle. Instead of cleaning it up he kicked it to the middle of the street. Perhaps he thought that it was the a job for this morning's crew to clean up his mess.

Today we are in a lovely albergue in Ventosa. It is very clean and has a lovely court yard to sit in. The village is small and charming. 

The weather has turned very hot and it looks like we have a few days ahead of us with temperatures reaching 30 degrees by mid afternoon.

There is something about this journey that soothes the soul despite aches, pains and blisters.
