Day 9 Navarrete – Najera – 14km
Day nine is a short day and not all pilgrims will walk as little as this, however it is good to have days that are not as hard on the body now and then.
During the first half of the route today the path hugs the main N120. After it crosses the road, about halfway, the track is further from the road. It is an easy 14km along red earth tracks among the local vineyards.
Ventosa is the only available rest point for coffee or water, it is 5km out of Navarrete.
Shortly after Ventosa you will see up on your left the Alto de San Anton, at the top of this is the ruins of the Monastery of San Anton. The monastery is off the Camino and to visit it you will need to detour.
What to see:
- Monastery of Santa Maria la Real, Najera
- Church of Santa Maria la Real, Najera
- Monastery of San Millande Yuso
