Ned fra højderne i Sansol til Torres del Río, undrer man sig over, hvorfor nogen ville bygge en landsby på et så besværligt sted at forsvare. Den eneste logiske grund er río Linares, som giver byen dens navn og nem adgang til vand.

Byen er interessant, fordi næsten alle bygninger (i hvert fald deres ydre) er blevet restaureret, hvilket giver indtryk af, at der bor flere (og har mere at lave) mennesker her, end der faktisk gør.

Besøg den ottekantede Iglesia de Santo Sepulcro, der ligesom den i Eunate ikke kan undslippe referencer til en Tempelridder-forbindelse.

The Road

Strekningen mellem her og Viana har kælenavnet 'The Knee Wrecker' på grund af sine hyppige op- og nedture. Det eneste sted med skygge og pause er ved Capilla de la Virgen del Poyo, hvor en sæsonbestemt madkiosk slår sig ned.

There was a small place called Bar Casita Lucia 5 km before Viana, but this closed down in 2024. The one mentioned at Capilla de Poyo also no longer exists. There is nothing to eat or drink for the next 8km until you arrive in the beautiful walled and fortified final frontier village of Viana (my home town), which denotes the end of the Navarra section.

Has a swimming pool and an amazing selection for dinner. I think they had 4-5 options of first course and 5-6 for the main course, including vegetarian and vegan options! I had a mushroom risotto and it was amazing.

I’ve struggled with my knees and reading it’s called the knee wrecker got me quite concerned- it’s not it’s not harder than any of the other stretches on the knees

Camino de Sant…

We really enjoyed staying in Torres to make the walk to Logrono shorter the next day. Small town but options for drinks and dinner.
