Roncesvalles to Zubiri 08/03/2023
This was the first day down hill path from the Pyrenees. The night before we had made our minds to spent another day to recover from the first brutal day however we soon realizing we were the very few staying behind, we decided to covered our packs and headed out under a soaking rain and 50 degrees temperature. We started walking down the hill through the forest with a nice terrain for fast walking, however that didn’t last long.
One third of the way we stopped in the village of Espinal. The café attendant has just immigrated to Spain from Columbia SA, and this young man knew how to cook. We ordered a pasta Bayonese and it was delicious. There we meet a French family (Dad, 22 years old daughter and her boyfriend) that were laying camp nearby. They were so helpful to us that we picked up there food bill on our way out. One kilometer up the hill we heard someone calling and it was the french girl running towards us. She gave us a special handmade gift/pendant. We talked for a few minutes, took some pictures with her and continued up the hill until the next village. While resting flat in the middle of the road in this tiny village we were met by this friendly poodle dog. We continued walking nonstop for 4 more hours. Once we reached the village of Erro, the cliffs turned very sharp, and dangerously rocky, however in retrospect, there was nothing like the suicidal hill the day before.
We reached Zubiri at 7:00pm and then started looking for a place to stay. We were so bitten up that we couldn’t even move one more step. After a shower, and breaking and desinfecting the blisters we wore our sandals and walked another half a kilometer to a restaurant to eat and back to our room to sleep. However we were so tired that we didn’t get to sleep until 3:00am.Läs mer
