Walking along the ridges of the Pyrenees


A gorgeous day of sunshine! We walked from Roncevalles to Zubiri, about 13 miles. It was still uphill and down, in the mountains, although we got over the peak the day before. So beautiful, being on a ridge and looking over at the tops of the other ridges, right at our level.

Tonight we have a fourth floor walk up room, shared bath. But only 27 euros :) The auberges are 60 bunk beds to a room, for 5 euros. Not brave enough!

Click on the links to hear what we were thinking as we found our 4th floor walk-up and closed restaurant.
Zubiri May 30th 4th floor walk up, restaurant closed

Now we are having a beer and talking to the other pilgrims. This is a great experience. On to Pamplona tomorrow.

The photos show:
  • Russ crossing the medieval bridge that led us into Zubiri
  • A crowd of pilgrims gathered at a breakfast spot a few miles after we left Roncesvalles
  • Several views from along the ridge-top trail between Roncesvalles and Zubiri
