Taxiing: about 4.5 miles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking: 3.6 miles, 2 hours and 23 minutes, up 427 feet, down 531 feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note by Wynette: I started this post several days ago and then ran into problems uploading the photos. It took a couple of days for us to resolve this problem, plus we had a couple of very busy days. I got behind on our daily logs. I hope to slowly fill them all in! Of course, the dates are going to appear out of order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stretch of walking leaving Linzoain is famous for being treacherous when wet.  Extremely steep downhill, rocky, muddy, and slippery. Much discussion about it on the Camino forum we read. Weather forecast was for overnight rain, 100% chance, for several hours.  Charlie and I decided we didn’t want to risk it. So … we called a taxi to take us around that section.  Of course, it might have been the first time we’ve ever seen here when it didn’t rain when there was any rain at all in the forecast.  But, I didn’t mind missing that section, even if it didn’t rain much after all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We told the taxi driver, “Take us to the closest bar to the Camino in Zubiri.” We had a nice coffee there and then headed out, starting on the Camino at Puente de la Rabia where supposedly people would take their rabid animals to be cured (by walking around it somehow, even though the bridge is over a good-sized river, at least by New Mexico standards).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was a life-size photo in the bar where we had coffee in Zubiri. I imagine it was taken during the time Franco controlled Spain.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This beautiful old church was on the Camino not far from Zubiri. Locked up tight. See next photo for details.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Details about the above church. 12th century Romanesque. I would have loved to see that 13th century painted alterpiece.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It did rain off and on. We were glad to have our rain coats for that but also to stay warm. It was a chilly day.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
