Another great Albergue, Etxeurdina, run by a great bloke and biker , Jordi. Absolutely can’t fault them so far. Headed out around 8 and got to Irache around 9.
Here is the wine fountain ‘Fuente del Vino’ linked to the bodega where pilgrims can get free wine from a tap. As Tom Gilbey would put it “let’s have a snort of the Rioja..bugger me, this tastes like shite”…https://youtu.be/cTMIdKfkNsQ?is=NfsoIqram9AH91rP
I’d pair it with a sink plug and move on!
It’s young wine and bloody rubbish.
No wonder they have been nicking the jugs and not the wine…(see photo)…c’mon, keep up!
Big day on the Brommie, and when the heavens opened again and I got to the muddy singletrack downhills, I dropped the seat to compensate for the load up front, hung my bony arse over the back, and with a belly full of early morning Rioja, went for it!
Great hairy fun on 16” wheels!
After the ride was over I did enjoy, of course, a much better glass of Rioja, thanks to a kindly benefactor (you know who u r Beccapedia)…well, when in Rome!
70 odd km completed today and all going well.
Today’s blog track from a great lesser known indie band, Salad with this 90’s favourite about Rioja ( or good red wine in general to be honest).
