Day 04 – Zubiri -> Pamplona

I left the albergue just before 6 am, before sunrise. The way was the same as the day before, with ups and downs and lots of houses and some churches, all made of stone. It was at this point that I began to realize that to start walking early meant enjoying the sunrise every day. It was amazing.
After passing through four villages, I stopped to eat something in Zuriáin. It was there that I met Eva. Although she had lived in Germany for 20 years, she was originally from the Czech Republic. As I was leaving the place, Eva was also leaving. We started walking together and talking about the Camino. She told me that she liked Brazilian music like Cesária Évora. I smiled and said that Cesária Évora was a Portuguese singer, not Brazilian. We both started laughing. Eva had a dark and short hair and a beautiful smile. She was reserved, but funny and smart. We talked, smiled, listened to Brazilian music (the real one) on our cell phones, she pretended to dance. She was a very nice company. After about three hours we stopped to rest and then we followed separately.
At that time, I was not far from Pamplona. A few kilometers ahead I found Jürgen, the funny German guy from Roncesvalles. He was with a small group walking fast to get to the Pamplona Municipal Albergue early to get a place. I followed them and got there before 1 pm and we all got a place to stay.Read more
