View of Navarrete

You have to experience that - the village that you can see from afar and at some point you think it's a mirage because it doesn't get any closer :-D

It often happens like this...the destination is so close and yet so far away. The worst thing is when it is not the place you thought it would be, but somewhere else and the path leads past it or even further.

Navarrete is a town on the Way of St. James in the autonomous region of La Rioja. Due to its monuments and historical significance, the town centre has been declared a Conjunto histórico-artístico. After walking towards the town for what seems like an eternity, you are rewarded with a magical town that has one of the most beautiful cathedrals on the Way of St. James.
