We had great weather the first four days of our pilgrimage; now we are not sure what is worse, a day with rain or an intense windy day. Today was challenging to walk due to the strong wind in El Camino.
Estella to Los Arcos

Pamplona a Puente la Reina
After a day off in Pamplona we headed to Puente la Reina. We walked 23km through grains and mustard fields.
Roncesvalles to Zubiri.
Today was an easier hike than yesterday. We walked 22km with only a few uphill or downhill sections. The weather was fantastic for hiking this morning, and we ran into many people that we had seen on the trail yesterday or at the hotel. It feels like a kind of camaraderie since everyone has only one objective: to walk and reach the next town. As courteous pilgrims, we salute them with “hola” or “Buenos Dias,” followed by the official sentence “Buen Camino” (have a good way). In the past two days, we saw people from many different countries. It is like being in Silicon Valley, hearing different languages spoken on the streets.
Saint-Jean-Pied-De-Port.
Today we arrived at Saint-Jean-Pied-De-Port, located in the Pyrenees’ foothills. We spent a few hours walking around this medieval town. We visited the pilgrims’ office, where we got our pilgrim’s credential and shell and good information for our first day walking in the Pyrenees. We saw a lot of pilgrims arriving this afternoon, tomorrow we are going to be one of them.
