Camino: Puenta la Reina to Estella

04/05/19
The bridge out of Puenta la Reina is quite special & makes for a nice way to start the day. It was a day of wide green expanses dotted with bright red poppies. I could see the quaint medieval town of Cirauqui (Basque for "nest of vipers"- yikes) far off in the distance for what seemed like hours. 
Estella is a bit larger with pilgrim services & an abundance of restaurants & shops.It is known for its hilltop monastery & its ethnic enclaves (the owner of my B&B was a staunch Basque separatist)
24k to Estella (population 14,000)
