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.

Caroline & Wes,
ReplyDeleteThis trek sounds like fun. Liz and I will be following your blog.

This trip looks amazing and we will look forward to hearing about your adventures!
ReplyDeleteLuv you! Mom
Hi Caroline, I was a neighbor of your dad's in Atlanta and have met you outside doing yoga - my husband and I begin the camino May 12th with a walking group. We are starting at Roncasvilles and will walk about 20km per day and will drive in a van the balance as we will only be there two weeks. We leave Santiago on May 28th. We will walk the entire 100km the last portion so we will qualify for the compostela. Maybe our paths will cross near the end of the journey. Buon Camino to you and Wes. Lisa

ReplyDeleteHello Caroline, It was great to meet you over the phone today. I just finished reading your blog entries and viewing all of the fabulous photos. I have had a great week visiting with Dad and Patti, hopefully the surgery in Indy tomorrow will make both of their lives a bit easier. I wish You & Wes the best of luck and health on this fabulous adventure. I will follow the blog and look forward to future entries.
