Day 6 – Estella to Los Argos

15 09 2007

As you can see from the title we didn´t make the place after Los Argos. Sair feet, hot sun and Al needs his 14 hours a day sleep or else he gets cranky (see previous day).

The refuge in Los Argos is okay but I think Al was hoping for a washine Machine and even someone to do the washing for him. I did offer but I´d be a bit wary of using the wrong powder or something…….

Today like yesterday was relatively straight forward, although after a mile or so you do reach not only a water fountain, but also a wine fountain. Thats right folks! free vino!. As it was only 7.45am in the morning we erred on the side of caution and left after our second pint..

We walked uphill – easy incline for the next 8km to Villamayor and stopped there for chocolate and chorizo bocadillos (sarnies).

From there it was roughly 12km to Los Argos through more vine fields and olive groves.

We got into town around noon but kncked the idea of going any further on the head as it was scorching hot now.

Booked into to refuge, went through the now usual routine of showering, washing clothes and going for a beer. After walking Al another 100km around Estella yesterday we went to the nearest (only) place in town. Had drink. ate. came back. Al sleeping. Me doing this.

Assuming we keep to plan, we have got 28km to Lograno tomorrow and a night in a hotel.

Yes!!

Thats it 4 now.

Day 6 u 2 can look this good with a little exercise!
