Day 11
Zariquiegui (10.9km 77.5km)
April 23, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
After a great tourist day in Pamplona we had a breakfast on the main square with a couple of other French Pilgrims ending their Camino as they do it in segments over a few years with their leave. Then went to a traditional Latin mass in the Cathedral. We set off at mid-day for the small town walking through beautiful farm land. I think Jane wanted some time alone as she sent me off to buy some lunch in a small village while she walked on. I caught up about an hour later just before our destination in San Andres Albergue in Zariquiegui! The small Albergue had a communal meal which is one of the highlights of the Camino highlights. Tonight we sat with Canadians and French (a young couple who live in Toulouse, France. They left their home town on foot and will walk all the way to Santiago and then onto Fatima, and then will reverse the whole trip back home. They hope to take 60 days!)
The Camino is very busy this year and there is a bit of a rush to get to the next accommodation as they are filling fast. We are booking more than we would like and therefore walking a bit less too but it is working for us rather than being so focussed on getting to the next town. Forcing some patience onto me maybe …

Day 7
Tag 7 von Pamplona nach Puente de la Rei
May 8, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C
Der heutige Tag war ganz anders als die vorausgegangen , sehr Warm und Sonnig und deshalb auch eher ungewöhnlich und anstrengend. Es gab wieder große Anstiege und noch schlimmere Abstiege. Da war ich nur froh das ich an beiden Knien die Bandagen hatte. Ansonsten war die Landschaft wieder Atemberaubend und wunder schön. Die Alberge und das Abendessen war ein richtiges Highlight und das beste was wir bis jetzt hatten. Ich bin glücklich das meine Füße und Knie bis jetzt wirklich ohne Schmerzen sind. So kann es weitergehen.Read more

Day 7
Etappe 4 - Puente la Reina 1
September 18, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
Heute haben wir ca. 24 km vor uns. Erster Stopp zum Frühstück nach rund 5 km.
Den Tag Ruhe in Pamplona merke ich schon, trotz der großen Stadtrundgänge.
Wir haben heute ein super Schrittmaß gefunden, welches uns gut voranbringt.
Die Pilgerkarawanenskulptur auf dem Windberg von 1996 kannten wir nur von Bildern: heute stehen wir davor!!! Ein phantastisches Erlebnis.
Ein steiler und steiniger Weg begleitet uns ins Tal.
In kleinen Kirchen am Wegesrand holen wir uns unsere Stempel als Pilger.Read more

Day 7
Cizur Menor
September 11, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 91 °F
Today was a short 6 mile walk. It was pretty hot and most of it was thru the city of Pamploma. I had thought about staying there but ended up walking out of the city and found this little gem of a place right across from an old church. I met a girl from Ohio and we went for lunch. It's been a "lazy" Sunday afternoon.Read more
Traveler Enjoy the break!!! I’m sure you need it!!! Love you

Day 6
Pamplona to Puente del Reina
May 28, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
A wonderful day of cornfields, wild flowers and birdsong
Forecast was for hot weather so we left the hostel (after very good coffee) at 7am.
Almost immediately met up with Bego and her friend. She is from Pamplona but is working in Brussels - he is a childhood friend from Luxembourg. She was absolutely lovely and has an adopted niece which meant we immediately had something in common. We talked her family and mine and her work and learning languages.
We met up with her several times during the day at the various rest stops. First stop was in Zariquirgui where I bought coffee, cherries oranges and a banana. All delicious. In fact two lots of cherries as they are my favourite.
Beautiful walk meeting up with several members of our Camino family.
I am feeling very blessed and increasingly serene. Although my shoulder hurt and I’m very tired (and hungry at the moment) I feel so lucky to be able to do this.
Just after we arrived at our hostel the most tremendous thunderstorm started and has been raging ever since - including hailstones at one point. Hoping it will stop before we need to go out to find dinner!!Read more
Traveler Beautiful photos! Thank you for sharing. Rx

Stupidity enough missed one turn and was going totally opposite direction

A very nice gentleman named Fernando (can you hear the drums?) turned me around and then guided me until I saw the Camino markers and a bunch of Peregrinos

Cizur Menor, Iglesia Sanjuanista
March 5 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 6 °C
Kurz hinter Cizur Menor trennen sich Camino Frances und Eurovelo, da Letzterer den Hügel umgeht, über den Esterer führt. Wir verpassen dadurch den Pass Puerto del Perdón. Angesichts der Zusatzstrecke und Höhenmeter, die die Fahrradroute aufweist, wäre der gerade Weg des Camoni Frances vermutlich sinnvoller gewesen.Read more

Day 65
56. Wandertag
May 23, 2023 in Spain
Heute haben wir den zweiten Teil des Weges nach Pamplona gemacht. Gemeinsam haben wir noch einmal zum Zmittag gegessen und dann haben wir uns wieder auf dem Jakobsweg eingeschleust und uns von unserem Besuch verabschiedet. Danke Edith und Martha , es war sehr schön, dass ihr uns besucht habt. Schon heute freue ich mich auf ein baldiges Wiedersehen.
Heute Abend haben wir eine Unterkunft in einer Herberge der Maltenser gefunden und zu guter letzt gab es auch noch ein kurzes Gewitter, welches wir uns unter Dach anschauen durften.Read more

Unruhige Nacht, da gegen 1 Uhr noch E-Mountainbiker eincheckten, Fahrräder mussten durch den Schlafsaal getragen und Akkus aufgeladen werden....Mir ist gerade gar nicht danach, die nächsten 10 km bergauf zu laufen, also gönne ich mir noch einen Café nach 5 km. Ansonsten: Pamplona ist eine quirlige tolle Stadt, sehenswert!Read more
