Pamplona to Puente le Reina

Monday 14th May 2012

22k's walked
Blisters healing......no new ones


Back on the trail today after two days resting and blister healing in Pamplona.  Had a lovely time there exploring the wee cobbled streets of the old town, enjoyed the local tapas and visited the musuem......great little town but the camino was calling.

We set off early morning while cool and made it to Puente le Reina by noon just as it was really begining to heat up. Gorgeous walking today, slow uphill gradient to a ridge line dotted with windmills and a lovely pilgrim sculpture. Steep coming down into the valley but well worth it, lovely fields of wheat, poppies all gently moving in the breeze. Lovely bird song.
Passed through three small villages on the way, postcard pictures every one of them.

Here are some  pics of the area to follow...
