Pamplona - Part 1

We spent the evening in Pamplona last night— the capital of the Navarre province in Northern Spain & famous for the Running of the Bulls each July. Even though we were both exhausted, we pushed to stay awake and acclimate to the time change, exploring the town and enjoying a nice dinner of pintxos (“pinchos”) or tapas then dessert at the famous Cafe Iruna, where Hemmingway was known to frequent. We’ll take a bus around the Pyrenees Mountains to Saint Jean Pied de Port this afternoon & begin our hike with roughly 3.5 miles to our alberge. Our pilgrimage will take us back through Pamplona in about 3 or 4 days!Read more
