This is the expression one hears all along the way from Pilgrims and the many people of these tiny towns along the Camino. Today was a delicious start with a breakfast in Los Arcos and passing many small villages like Torres Del Rio. Goal was to end up in Viana short of Logrono. I am not that interested in walking through big industrial cities. The walk up to Viana made me think I made a mistake. I learned that it is known as la Colina de Mataburros. I have run into a flood of pilgrims and this may be a daily rush to get a bed. Plan to pass Logrono in the morning and on to Navarette. This is La Rioja. There might be wine.
!Buen camino!
