A few kilometres in comes the wine fountain of Irache, next to the monastery, which offers pilgrims wine and water. Then Villamayor de Monjardín below its castle, and a long open stretch with hardly any villages to Los Arcos. Fill up with water in Villamayor: after it there are many kilometres with no fountains, and you feel it in summer.
