“The Error to Erro”

(aka Hailing a taxi in Spain) Lintzoain to Zabaldika
After multiple days of rain & cold, it was so nice to wake up to sunshine! Our morning journey out of Lintzoain was a beautiful one. Hiking through lush woodlands with melodies from migrating Spring songbirds birds filling the air, if it weren’t for distant views of the mountain range, the scenery could have easily been mistaken for Michigan!

We’d read that there was quite a steep decent down into the next town— very rocky and difficult to navigate, made even more treacherous by the recent rains. Given that we’d both been struggling with knee pain, we opted to take the road (vs trail) and followed a wonderful new friend of ours from the Netherlands, who’d charted the course the night before. It wasn’t until about 3 miles down the winding road that a passing cyclist, who rightly assumed we were pilgrims, was kind enough to stop & point out in Spanish that we were headed the wrong direction! Doh!! Thanks to some very kind-hearted construction workers in the nearby town who called us a taxi we were able to get back on track 🚕Läs mer
