Day 7 Estella to Los Arcos

We bought cafe con leche in the morning in order to have plastic cups.  The yellow arrows took us to a new alberge up the hill away from the Camino markers. We realized that we were on the wrong side of the Bodega Irache Winery! We cut through the vineyards to join the other pilgrims at the Fuente de Vino! Wow, a fountain that serves wine! And our favourite Cabernet-Sauvignon. Today offered us two routes. We chose the low road even though it was longer. The thought of the peaks was too much. The wind picked up and the temperature dropped. We layered up and were delighted to see the Flèche Amarillo - (Yellow Arrow) food truck. Interestingly it had food, tables and shelter for us but No Bathroom!  The hospitalero in Los Arcos welcomed us. We showered and did laundry using an antique wringer and our laundry was dry before bedtime! We relaxed with our Osaka friends, met Christine from Denmark, introduced her to Janus from Copenhagen and had a few laughs with our South African friend over one euro beers from the vending machine. Our Dutch hospitalero told us to walk tall, "not like a chicken".  

The wine fountain was fantastic. Bodega Irache donates 100 litres per day for the pilgrims. Great marketing eh?
