Day # 9 May 30
Torres del Rio to Logroño (20.6 km)
Passed churches Ornate, obsolete
Big & small dogs out on the street
Got a stamp in a pub
Where we stopped for grub
And four pilgrims from Dublin did meet.
Torres del Rio is a fairly small town with little to see. The hotel where we ate is only weeks old & the staff seemed eager to please(Worked for me) so service & food presentation was excellent. The two two bottles of wine (Rioja) were none too shabby either. (note to TS nice local wine-. Rioja-eh).
There was a church charging l€ for entry... nobody went. The hostel (Auberque) had motion detecting light switches in the loo with a very short 'on' time so you could be"doing your business" when the light would go out. You had to flap your arms like wings to turn the lights on again. It's a strange sight someone sitting doing their business and flapping... Monty Pythonesque.
The walk Is encapsulated in the limerick.

You might have to cut & paste.
We got an early start... Note the long shadows.
