Camino Francés - Day 8: Sansol to Logroño
I was worried last night about finding a place in Logroño. I had planned to leave early to line up at the municipal albergue, but luck was on my side. A few Spanish pilgrims I’d met earlier had booked two extra beds and just canceled. I called the albergue and secured one of them, so I left around 8 AM without worry.
The route had a few steep sections but was mostly flat and pleasant. I walked part of the way with my fellow pilgrims, and we reached Logroño by early afternoon. In the evening, we headed to Calle del Laurel — the famous tapas street — and stopped at three different bars. At the last place, a local woman out with her friends recommended her favourite dish, wished us Buen Camino, What a finish to the day.
