Day 14 SJPP to Roncesvalles, 25 kms

Today’s path on the Route Napoleon over The Pyrenees, from France to Spain, can only be described as glorious.

It’s a long climb up to 1450m and then a steep descent. And after the first 8 kms there are no facilities. The weather can play a factor and can change quickly, for the worse. That’s what we had in 2014 - rain, icy winds and, finally, hail. It was challenging and we saw nothing.

Today, thankfully, a very different story. We left SJPP at 7am, and arrived at Roncesvalles at 2pm. We started early because rain was forecast for the afternoon. But our weather angel took care of us and the rain did not arrive (until this evening) and we walked in to Roncesvalles in sunshine.

I don’t think the photos (and video) can do justice to the feeling of walking on this stunning path. But … can give an idea at least.Okumaya devam et
