Every step was a battle against the elements, but we pushed forward, staying ahead of the rain for the third consecutive day. https://vitciobanu.eu/2025/04/15/stage-9-najera-santo-domingo-de-la-calzada/ Tue, 15 Apr 2025 20:29:18 +0200 https://vitciobanu.eu/2025/04/15/stage-9-najera-santo-domingo-de-la-calzada/ We set out from Nájera into the crisp morning air.

Out of the 6 hours we were moving, I think we were under somewhat heavy rain 5 hours. About the night, all good. Comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, good service although laundry services a little too expensive – 7 euros per bag.
