The road to Zubiri was tough

The morning started off beautiful, what we thought was a mostly downhill trail wasn’t…we had 1288 ft of elevation gain along with warmer temperatures made it a challenging day. We know it’s going to take at least a week to get our trail leg’s so it’s to be expected.
We stopped at a little market and bought fruit, salami, cheese and a fresh baguette. We stopped about 7-8 miles in and enjoyed every morsel.
Once we left after eating is when the climbing and steep ascents made it tough. We made a second stop at a food truck and enjoyed a cold soda for the moment all was right with the world until we got back on the trail. Javier’s hip was really bothering him so we took it nice and slow because the trails were rocky, steep and slick.
When we made the final ascent into town 🙏🏼our Pension was at the foot of the trail. We really have a cute room, wonderful host and the restaurant/bar he recommended was wonderful.
Jav and I will be transporting our bags to Pamplona tomorrow I want to make sure his hip gets some rest from the pack. Our day ended perfectly with a good meal and a cold beer 🍻 with our fantastic friends. Buenas noches and tomorrow will be another beautiful day in the Camino. Enjoy the photos look for our grumpy face picture in the mix.Read more
