Larrasouna to Pamplona

Great walk today! It was cool in the morning since we had an earlier start and beat the heat to Pamplona. Only a 10 miler so our legs and feet got a little break.

On the camino, pilgrims receive a passport (credentials) at the start of the journey. Along the way, you must collect stamps daily as you travel towards Santiago. Stamps can be collected at albergues, cafes, bars, and churches. Each stamp is unique to that location. Today, we picked up 4 stamps because of the places we passed. A fun one was at a cafe, the local police stopped to greet pilgrims, stamp passports and take pictures, it was awesome.

The other highlight was taking a route to visit a church built in the 13th century. A sister opened the church to us and stamped our passports, then let us climb the bell tower to ring one of the bells, it was amazing.

For dinner we had pinchos(small plates like tapas) and beers, a fine day on the camino!Weiterlesen
