Today in Pamplona back trekking, ie hitchhiking northeast to the town St Jean Pied de Port, where we plan to begin the Camino de Santiago, the Way of St James, and the trek across northern Spain. St Jean Pied de Port, St James at the foot of the mountains, is just outside the Spanish border in France. It´s a traditional pilgrimmage starting off point.

We arrived to Pamplona this morning from Barcelona, walked the avenue for the running of the bulls, and hit the Info office to locate some requisites for our walk, ie shoe repair services. Next stop is a ride east via Roncevalles then down the mountain to St Jean Pied de Port where we can collect our pilgrim´s passport and begin!
We hope to start the trek from St Jean Pied de Port on 1 May.
