Another short day through lush vineyards on my way to Najara. At a confusing fork in the road, I conferred with a new pilgrim friend. Once we landed in the middle of a field of grapevines, we retraced our steps & paid better attention to signage. As my Canadian friend & I solved all the world's problems, we enjoyed vineyard & the waterfront views from a cafe in Najara.
Najara's Monasterio de Santa Maria la Real is spectacular. The 11th-century church was built by King Garcia III whose falcon flew into a cave where he discovered a virgin statue that now lives in the original cave tucked inside the monastery.
I scored with a cozy room that even had a bathtub (woo hoo!)
