Larrasoana to Uterga

Today we walked 34km from Larrasoaña to Uterga via Pamplona. We started out through beautiful rural scapes through to the ancient town Pamplona up and over the Alta Perdon back into the countryside again.

Good news for all dog owners in Spain; there is no need to carry little plastic bags - your dog can "go" anywhere, such fun!

No one in Spain uses a lawnmower, weedeater or Round Up. The road side is a riot of delicate spring flowers and weeds. The trees are in blossom. The open spaces are unstructured meadows; not paddocks like in NZ and there are no livestock.

We walked through the pretty town of Zariquiegui looking for afternoon tea today; it was a ghost town as everyone was having a siesta.

We have no injuries and no blisters. We have decided to continue with the huge days for a little while. We are walking at a rate of 3 - 4 km per hour. So 30 odd kms takes about 10 hours with breaks. It's slow because of the hills and often challenging footways.Læs mere
