Madrid to Pamplona

A rocky night of sleep last night. Sill not adjusting to local time. I’m guessing that won’t be a problem when we start walking the Camino. We’re on the train to Pamplona now. I was hoping for a high-speed train but no dice. So we’re plodding along at 100+ mph on a regular train. Countryside is dry dry dry. Too boring for a photo. Irrigated farming, but in between it looks like sage. The hills we pass through are OLD. Nothing like our PNW basalt and granite.

Including a picture of a local “bar” (ubiquitous small restaurants) close to our Madrid hotel where we ate lunch a couple of times. Lots of ham on the hook! Another photo of the Madrid train station. We hope to get into an Alburgue in Pamplona, but will walk out of town if they are full from the Running of the Bulls festival.Leggi altro
