Morning walk leaving Nájera.

May 1st is a big deal around here. For starters, I was disappointed that a room was not available for another night after learning there would be a medieval marketplace as part of the Nájera Festival that would be going on through the weekend. I did get to see some of the displays and craft booths being set up as I walked out of town.

Additionally, it is Mayday or Labour Day, which is a national holiday, so good luck getting supplies from a farmacia or market.

Nothing but nature to see today.

Except for this representation of Santo Domingo, who built a bridge over the Oja River for pilgrims to cross.

Further, in Santo Domingo de la Calzada, a drummer and some young women in traditional garb participate in the Procession of the Bread for the Fiesta of the Saint.

Feeling inspired by all the celebrations, we opted to dine at Los Caballeros, a Michelin Guide recommendation.

I suppose we were also celebrating having now walked about 130 miles.
