• Pamplona to Uterga

    April 22, 2024 in Spain ⋅ 🌬 11 °C

    Busy morning in Pamplona before walking to Uterga to meet up with Pat at the Albergue.

    I shipped my blue bag (with my hiking boots and stuff that I didn't need) to Santiago de Compostela. Correos the post office will store it for 45 days while I walk there.

    I bought a smaller backpack - 20 litres - to carry my day stuff, and shipped my Green Osprey backpack (toiletries, clothes and medication) to my next accommodation. Much more manageable carrying a smaller pack.

    I bought a Vodafone sim card to use while in Spain - only 20€ and 150GB of data.

    Lovely day of walking. Alto del Perdon with life-size metal structures of pilgrims past and present installed here in 1996 was spectacular and very windy. Monumento al Peregrino (Monument to the Pilgrim)
    The pilgrims are walking, and some are riding horses (and one, a donkey) a dog at their side, all making their way west.
