Puente La Reina

Day 5 Puente La Reina
Distance from Pamplona to Puenta La Reina 29kms

We started early this morning (7am) as we had a long day.
We made good time and covered some ground through fields of rye grass and climbed up to the summit (790m) of Alto del Perdon with its wrought iron representation of medieval pilgrims - where the way of the wind crosses the way of the stars. We passed through villages and descended over loose stones through vineyards and almond trees. We stopped at a delightful village Uterga for lunch and enjoyed a delicious tuna salad/bread cheesecake and coffee before resuming the final stage of our walk today.
Puente La Reina came into sight after 29kms and what a joy to make it to our fabulous albergue. We share a 5 bunk room with 3 males tonight.
We have chosen a tiny restaurant for dinner I’m having the braised rabbit and Bronwyn the wild boar stew. This is as much about a walking adventure as it is a food tasting extravaganza.Read more
