Camino Frances from Saint Jean to Sahagun, then a week in Zamora
April 11: Walking Day Roncesvalles to Linzoain
Post by Charlie and Wynette:
9.1. miles, up 546 feet, down 1363 feet, six hours on the trail
We started in Roncesvalles on our 2013 Camino so we were anxious to see how much we remembered. Quite a lot it turned out although lots of details had been forgotten, as is the way with memory. Will just talk about the day with photos.
This is the obligatory photo of just about every pilgrim who leaves Roncesvalles heading for Santiago (hi, Holly and Barbara!) Charlie posted the one of me earlier, from both this year and 2013.Stopped after a couple of miles for lovely breakfast. Avocado toast, tortilla (Spanish omelette) on toast, cafe con leche, and fresh-squeezed orange juice.These very cute kids were profiting from us pilgrims. They came skipping up to us and sold me a little yarn bracelet for one euro.When we made the reservation for Lintzoain, we thought we were getting a private double room in a hotel-like place, Posada del Camino. It turned out to be an albergue. So, we had three beds, but we had the room to ourselves.We had a very nice group dinner in the albergue. Shared with Antonio, from the Canary Islands (Spain), and Anika, from Denmark.
