This was the longest day walk of my whole life. I didn't expect to walk over 36k in a day at any stage, and especially not so early in the Camino.

I would never pay to see animals being exploited and harmed, and would not buy related merchandise, because that's what keeps the practice alive.
When I got to Puente La Reina today, the main streetRead more

I spent last night at albergue Etxeurdina, in Villatuerta. I ended up there by mistake, but turned out to be great.

The village of Lúquin was such a perfect stop. The last part of the walk leading there was in the sun. I was getting hungry and it was time for a break.
I sat in the shade at the plaza, and ate myRead more

This town is still in Navarre, but looks very different to the others I visited so far. Very modest, a bit run down, but with a very impressive church.

I took the route suggested by Jordi, and the shade made a big difference. Morning temperature was in the mid 20s, but it felt hot walking in the sun.
Amazing. What a challenge but we’ll thought through and planned. What were some of the highlights along the way? [Jill]
Traveler In the morning I was planning to have breakfast at Zuriain. I was warned that the cafe there was the only option, as there would be nothing else for the next 3 hours (Pamplona, I assumed).. When I got to Zuriain, I found that the cafe was closed, and I was a bit hungry. There were 2 Korean girls and an American guy I had met before taking a break just past the cafe and I joined them. I said I would have to eat my last reserves for the above reasons. And Teddy, apprpriately wearing a Superman T shirt, gave me a small croissant and some bikkies.
Traveler I told them of a 'false' way marker coming up, which I learnt from Neil the day before. Then I met Jane, from Ireland, and we walked part of the way together. She followed me when we got to the false marker and was glad she did. The next surprise was passing through Huarte before Pamplona, where we could stock up at a supermarket.
