Estella to Los Arcos - May 8, 2015

Left Estella with Linda and Bill, our first destination the Fuente de Irache (Wine Fountain) at Bodegas Irache where there is wine "on tap", at least in the morning. Some people were trying it but was too early in the morning for us. Just took a picture. Next door is the Monasterio Irache, now closed as a monastery. 

Another beautiful door/gate

Is that a castle on the top of that hill? And are we going there?

Definitely a castle..and so tired already

Hooray! the climb ends here at Fuente de Los Moros (13thC Fountain of the Moors) That castle at the top is the ruin of St. Stephen's castle (Castillo de San Estaban)

Threatening skies

In the distance, ruins of ancient hospital de peregrinos 

Cafe movil de Eduardo - mobile canteen in the middle of nowhere with great food and amazing freshly squeezed orange juice.

Another "retired" boot

We're here!

These arbours are everywhere in Spain. Does anyone know what kind of tree this is?

Laundry drying on my cute balcony at day's end
