Through Nàjera to Azofra and wine

This is wine country. They are just starting the harvest to make the famous  (and delicious) Rioja wine.  I was hiking though vineyards most of the day. 
Ready for harvest. 
Last night's dinner. Tripe and garbanzo soup. 
7 am companion. 
Navigating through the small town of Nàjera.  It is like a treasure hunt to find the little yellow arrows guiding the way. If you miss one you can be lost for a while. 
Going through a little sandstone section that looks like Arizona. 
Today's stop for the night. 
Today's route.  I actually started in Navarrete but forgot to turn on my tracking watch.

 A week to go before I leave for the Camino!  I have been making a possible schedule and packing list.  I'm also starting this blog...  I don't know who'll be reading it, so please make a comment for me so I know. Here's the schedule.  There is almost no chance that I'll be exactly on this schedule.  Part of the Camino pilgrim experience is going without knowing exactly where you'll end up that day.  I have quite a bit of flexibility so if I need recovery days, it shouldn't be any problem.  I might want to walk slower too.  Days Walking Destination Notes Target Lodging Reserve ?
