We are about to tackle a stage that will take us across the Rioja region on our way to Castile. This is a relatively easy stage, so much so that we recommend a short detour of 13 km to visit San Mill\u00e1n de la Cogolla for those who have the strength to do so.<\/p>
As always, leaving a capital city like Logro\u00f1o is not easy, in this case we will walk through the Grajea urban park until we leave the city. This is a very beautiful greenway where we can see the Grajea reservoir lake (a recreational and leisure area for the people of Logro\u00f1o).<\/p>
After 8 km since we left the centre of Logro\u00f1o, we leave this greenway and climb for a kilometre and a half to the Alto de la Gallina.<\/p>
We descend until we cross the N-120 and the motorway, passing in front of the ruins of the old pilgrims' hospital of San Juan de Acre, we climb again to Navarrete (km 12.7).<\/p>
We take a succession of tracks and roads surrounded by vineyards and construction sites until we reach N\u00e1jera (km 29.6), passing through Ventosa (km 20). This journey until we reach N\u00e1jera is long and arduous, without presenting any notable difficulties.<\/p>
Leaving N\u00e1jera we climb a steep slope to take a tarmac track that leads us to Azofra (km 37.5). <\/p>
It is at this point that we must decide whether to take the 13 km route to San Mill\u00e1n de la Cogolla (to visit the Monastery of Yuso, the cradle of Castilian), to resume our route in Santo Domingo de la Calzada; or, on the contrary, to continue the pilgrim's path to Santo Domingo de la Calzada).<\/p>
We describe the pilgrim's path that after 10km takes us to Cirue\u00f1a, during this crossing, the vineyards disappear and we begin to see the large fields for the cultivation of cereals, this indicates that Castile is already near.<\/p>
We leave Cirue\u00f1a along a farm track that climbs slightly and then descends to Santo Domingo de La calzada (km 51).<\/p>
After visiting and resting in this beautiful town, we head towards Gra\u00f1on (km 57) (the last town in the Rioja), which we can reach by road (3.5 km) or by road (1.9 km).<\/p>
We continue our pilgrimage along tracks and plots of land and 2 km further on we enter Castile (land that will accompany us for a large number of stages), and so we reach Redecilla (km 61), after crossing the N-120 (the first town in Burgos), from here we pass through three more towns: Castildelgado, Viloria de Rioja and Villamayor del R\u00edo and from here to Belorado (km 76) and the Castilian resting point after this stage.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Distance Stage: 76 Km Maximum altitude: 827.66 m Minimum altitude: 376.98 m Elevation gain: 1158.33 m....","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10985,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","filesize_raw":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2945],"tags":[],"series":[],"class_list":["post-11081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-camino-de-santiago","post_format-post-format-image"],"episode_featured_image":"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Camino-Franc\u00e9s_by-jynus_-CC-BY-SA-2.5.jpg","episode_player_image":"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Caratula-Podcast-Maldita-Montana_1500x1500_72pp-p_.jpg","download_link":"","player_link":"","audio_player":false,"episode_data":{"playerMode":"dark","subscribeUrls":[],"rssFeedUrl":"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/en\/feed\/podcast\/maldita-montana","embedCode":"
