Tipps für Pilger auf dem Camino
What to do in Navarette
Here are some of things you can do when stopping in Navarrete:
Navarrete’s most famous landmark is the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, which was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 2020.
Die Kirche befindet sich im Herzen der Stadt und ist ein beliebter Wallfahrtsort für Pilger auf dem Camino.
For such a small town the church is amazing and worth exploring. It is a Romanesque church with some beautiful paintings and artwork.
Bester Tipp: Spend a Euro and see all the gold leaf adorned walls spring to life under the lights. Its a site to see and one not to miss.
Navarrete is a very small town on the Camino de Santiago but it is worth taking some time to explore the local streets, cafes and bars and mix with the local people who are very friendly.
Navarrete is in the Rioja region so take some time out to have a good bottle of wine and enjoy relaxing with other Pilgrims.
Manchmal ist es einfach schön, die Pilger zu beobachten, wenn sie durch das Dorf gehen. Sie werden fast immer jemanden sehen, mit dem Sie schon einmal gesprochen haben.
If you are staying in Navarrete for the night, you might consider a small climb up to the ‘Tedeón’ to where the castle once stood.
There is a nice picnic park there and a good view of the surrounding land and the 7 towns of La Rioja and their mountains.
Haben Sie Waden, Risse, Blasen oder trockene Füße?
GEHWOL ist das weltweit umfangreichste Sortiment an wirksamen therapeutischen Fußpflegeprodukten. Ich benutze sie jeden Tag, wenn ich auf dem Camino gehe.
Auf Amazon kaufenIch achte auch darauf, dass ich meine Füße nach einem anstrengenden Tag auf dem Weg pflege. Um heiße Stellen oder Blasen in Schach zu halten, folge ich dem gleichen Regime für alle meine Wanderungen auf dem Camino.
Ich nehme immer 3 Paare von Socken aus Merinowolle und wechseln Sie sie mindestens einmal am Tag. Kurz nach der Mittagszeit ist der perfekte Zeitpunkt, um die Füße zu lüften und die Wandersocken zu wechseln.
Wenn ich den Tag zu Ende gehe, trage ich immer Badelatschen die Luft an meine Füße zu lassen und meine Füße immer einzucremen mit Gehwol Fußcreme am Abend.
Where to eat in Navarette
The region of La Rioja is famous for its wine, and Navarrete is no exception. The town is located in the heart of the Rioja wine region and is surrounded by vineyards and wineries.
There is a great bar located at the bottom of the steps up to the church called Casa de comidas Begoña y Antonio. The cold beers and Tapas were fantastic.
The local cuisine of Navarrete is based on traditional recipes and ingredients and there are restaurants in the village that offer delicious regional dishes.
For our evening meal we ate at the Hotel Rey Sancho. It was €15 euro a person but the food was really good and is well worth eating here.
