Wednesday
From Viana we start by heading Eastwards along a picturesque highway towards our lunch destination at Villamayor de Monjardin. Our route follows a one-time major road, but we won't see many cars as 'our' road was bypassed by a motorway a few years ago.

After lunch we should have time to stop and take a look at the monastery of Iratxe. This huge pile of stone has been a hospital for pilgrims, a university, and a field hospital over the centuries.

Nowadays, the incumbents are content to devote their lives to prayer and to making wine, which they very generously give to pilgrims passing on the Camino de Santiago!
