Day 9 Najera to Santo Domingo

What did we learn since the last episode? Bring an eye cover and earplugs to help you sleep at night! After another less than restful night we carried on from Najera to Santo Domingo de la Calzada. One of the great things we found about walking the Camino is that even after a bad nights sleep or when you're feeling tired or a little bit off you soon shrug all that off once you start walking and live in the moment, enjoying the journey.

Today we answer the age old question, why did the chicken live in the church? We sample all of the delicious baked treats Santo Domingo has to offer and revel in the luxury of staying in our first Parador.

We also answer our first listener question in this episode, do you need to have cash when walking the Camino or can you pay with cards?

And a shout out to Lucinda who took our advice and walked the last 100km of the Portuguese Camino!

• Parador de Santo Domingo de la Calzada (booking.com)
  Where we stayed in Santo Domingo. It's a Parador! The epitome of luxury on the Camino. Lovely old building on a central square in town. Airconditioned rooms, nice bathrooms and good service. Has some nice seating on the square just outside the main doors for a pleasant afternoon with a drink.
