Montserrat to Lleida
A train and the Cremallera (Zipper) Funicular transported us from Barcelona to the 1,000 year old Monastery of Montserrat.

Lleida to Zaragoza
It is 162 km from Lleida to Zaragoza, including a 50 km stage without accommodation which we took a bus across.

Puente la Reina to Navarrete
From Logroño we took a bus to Puente la Reina to walk 73 km on the Camino Frances back to Logroño and then on to Navarrete.
