Waterfalls and pintxos

Well our walk is done for now. We finally made it back to Pamplona. If I ever do this stretch of the Camino again I will think strongly on making Pamplona a rest day. Our stay in Zubiri was wonderful at Casa Rural Txantxorena. We went left town crossing over the"magic" bridge. And followed the trail mostly down hill to Pamplona.

We stopped at a midieval chapel being renovated at La Abadia and talked with the head of the project. Then, we made our way thru the final towns and past a waterfall to Pamplona. The last 10k we walked was along the Arga River. Through a nice and quiet river park. Then a stranger stopped us and gave us a blessing before we crossed the river and walked up through the city walls where we got our final selo (stamp) at the cathedral. If I want to get a compostella I will need to I will need to start back up in Pamplona and get another selo there.

We ran into our walking friends Mary, Terra, and Sharon, and taxi share friends Mandy and Maria at the main square and had dinner (pintxos not tapas) and said our goodbyes.Read more
