Stage 7: Los Arcos - Logroño

We head towards the province of La Rioja starting from the town of Los Arcos, which has been inhabited since Roman times and was recovered from the Moors in 914 by Sancho García.

The village has all the facilities you need as a pilgrim, along with plenty of interesting places to visit. Between Sansol and Torres del Rio there are very deep and steep ravines, and then continue on a slightly hilly route.

The journey begins at 450 meters above sea level and reaches its highest point shortly after at almost 600 meters on dirt tracks without much complication.

Afterwards we will encounter many climbs and descents, which makes this stage harder than it looks on the map. The road that continues to Viana has quite steep descents.

From this locality, pedestrian lanes that run through the industrial areas of the zone await us.

Some people choose to continue walking to Logroño, 18 km away, because it is a larger town and it is easier to find accommodation. Others prefer to stop in Viana, which is a shorter walk and a smaller town. The whole day is spent walking through fields and hills, with many short but sometimes steep climbs and descents.
