A good walk up the hills to Valcaros. There were four of us who walked together: Regina (Germany) and a couple from Uruguay. Regina and I stopped while the Uruguayans continued to Roncesvalles.
We arrived around 1300 and had time to shower and sort out laundry. The three course lunch at the local restaurant was generous.
During the afternoon, more peregrinos arrived. Places represented include San Francisco, South Korea, Italy, Denmark, Norway and Manchester.
