Homemade windmill...ingenious!
Irache monastery and its famous fountain of wine....100L/day are offered to the pilgrims and passersby from 8am to 8pm...we arrived at 3pm and only managed to extract 3 drops each...No problem we met there James and his wife who invited us for a wine degustation (way better quality) in their RV ...the wine was flowing more freely there !
Entering the charming town of Estella...
We are waiting for our dinner to be served...the owner of the restaurant "Mundo" in Estella randomly chose the Canadian flag to our table...souvenirs, souvenirs!
The owner of the restaurant gave us a recommendation as where to camp nearby...she knows a great open field up the hill with sculptures of skulls...as "spooky" as she described it!
17 km done for a total of 3972 + 17 = 3989 km
- Day 318: May 23rd: Parque de Las Calaveras to Embalse de Alloz- 11 km - 4000 km milestone!
My little solar panel gave up on us after just one month...the wires connecting the USB port to the panels must have been damaged by the constant folding/unfolding of the device. For the last few days, we've managed to get it back on using a very temporary/rudimentary technique "finding the right pressure point that turns the on indicator blue"...Today, no CPR could resurrect my little charging station...choetech won't be the brand we'll go for in the future.
11 km done for a total of 3989 + 11 = 4000 km!!! We've reached our 4th big milestone today!!
