Villava, just outside of Pamplona

A nice walk down the Rio Arga valley this afternoon, mostly no rain. We walked without raincoats until the sprinkles got heavy. Then as soon as we put on raincoats, the rain stopped and the sun would peak out.

We had one last steep hill climb before descending to Villava, a suburb of Pamplona. We met a tiny French woman from Paris climbing the hill. She is 80 years old carrying her stuff in a reusable shopping bag and one hiking stick. She and her friend are walking to Logrono, at least a week away.

We arrived at Pension Obel, which is right above Bar Obel!

Two beers are being consumed, then a trip to the laundromat around the corner.Read more
