• Pamplona rest day

    September 17, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

    After 10 hours of sleep and an ample breakfast, I'm feeling human again. I went back to the entrance into the city over the Puente de la Magdalena and through the Portal de Francia, which I was too dead tired to even see yesterday. It was by sheer power of will that I made it up that last climb through the fortress into the old city, just a blind slog. It was only 56° this morning, first taste of cooler fall temps to come. I wandered around the city, ducking into churches and happening upon some amazing music. Also visited the Ultreia Interpretive Center to learn about how the history of this region is tied to the Camino de Santiago. Also scouted out the route out of town and packed the daypack. It will be a relief to walk lighter tomorrow!Read more
