Another 14 + mile day, as we left Zubiri about 7:30 am. Warm day, continuous ascents and descents. Entered the historic fort walls guarding old Pamplona, Spain. Today we spoiled ourselves a little by making reservations at a beautiful hotel /spa in the heart of the historic district – 50 yards from the start of the Running of the Bulls. Felt a little guilty – but great change.
One of our fellow pilgrims, Carolina, who happened to be from Pamplona, and her boy friend, Tim, from the U.K., arranged a personal tour of Pamplona. It was fantastic ! Walked the entire route the bulls run, stopped by several unique bars, and ended up at the famous Hemingway’s for dinner.
P.S. for our banker followers, we were able to find and use our first BBVA ATM. Felt right at home!!
