Leaving at just after 7:30 in semi darkness it was possible to stop after about 90 mins for coffee and a bocadillo. Then reached Najera by midday. One of the walkers wanted to visit the cathedral but there was a wedding being held there and it was not open to visitors.

A long slow climb uphill from Najera among grape vines bursting with fruit. Then an easier downhill track to Azofra where preparations were under way for a festival related to the running of the bulls.
