Today’s journey takes us to Puente la Reina. Seems like it will be pretty hot today so we will be sure to hydrate and take breaks. In general the earlier that we start the better it is and then we get to rest and enjoy the towns that we visit.
Leaving Pamplona had a nice feel to it. The rest of the city was well laid out and the Camino symbols and arrows were easy to follow!
As I have mentioned before, we are always on the lookout for the “Camino shell” and “yellow arrows” to point us in the right direction. They have been easy to spot so far. Sometimes, cities and towns have special medallions on the sidewalk more frequently placed that makes it very easy to follow the trail, but when you get out into the countryside they are mostly at every crossroad or junction.
Today’s hike was beautiful and we weren’t the only ones to think so . . .
The path we followed today took us over a high point called “Alto de Perdon.” At the top of this area is a sculpture of pilgrims dedicated to the many that have traveled El Camino!
Today’s final destination was Puente la Reina. We made it there in good shape. Today we really felt like we were making many friends along El Camino and we all got together for dinner. It was fun walking the streets with people we have forged a bond with discussing life and our surroundings! See you tomorrow!
