Camino de Santiago

Day 6. Pamplona to Zariquiegui.
After an eventful stay in Jesus y Maria Albergue, the "Home of No Toilet Seats", our day began. It was what one would imagine the Camino to be: a beautiful walk through Pamplona, it's suburbs, and into the countryside surrounded by fields of wheat and growing sunflowers. We took an easier day due to injuries, and only walked eight miles. The combination of the sun and breeze across the wheat fields was hypnotizing.
All along the Camino, there are memorials to fallen pilgrims. Often found in the shade of trees, pilgrims stop to visit the memorials and take shelter from the Sun. We ended our day by staying in a tiny hamlet at the foot of Alto del Perdon, "the Hill of Forgiveness." The small Albergue was a welcome stop where we ate, drank, and toured the church of Saint Andres. It is unique due to its components dating to the 11th, 14th and 17th century in Romanesque, Gothic, and Neo Classical design.Leggi altro
