Day 9: Logroño to Ventosa
19km to Ventosa, and if feeling good will continue on for another 10k. Not the early start we hoped for - had a bad night’s sleep
Red Squirrel Showing Us The Way
A red squirrel guiding us along the way 👼🐿️. (But actually luring us into a trap where Daddy “El Pointio Earrios” Squirrel could attack us from the flank)
Church So Beautiful I Left My 📱 In It
Slight ‘detour’ today after I left my phone in the church of a town called Navarette. Hobbled back as quickly as we could, found the phone where I left it, tipped Jesus (just in case) with €2 in the donation box, and hobbled back on our way.
The Stamp Of Nutproval
After a perilous first encounter, we quickly learned that walnuts were key to gaining the trust of northern Spain’s squirrel community. Thank you to the friendly locals who showed us how.
