The journey begins…….

Sunday, June 24: Landing in Bilbao we took a scenic bus drive to the gorgeous San Sebastian. As we relaxed on the bus we took in what we are about to walk in the next 7 days noticing the rather hilly daunting terrains ahead of us. We enjoy the typical ‘Pinchot’ (tapas) for dinner and walked through the beautiful city.  As the sun goes down so I prepare for our my first walk tomorrow.

Monday, June 25:  This will be the third longest of all our walking days, 27 km challange.  I found a cool natural stream where I nursed my hot burning feet with toe sausages and vaseline while chomping on much needed protein bars.  This journey took us from sea level to mountain tops, through forests, farm lands and fishing villages. I arrived at my guesthouse in Getaria at 4:20 pm after walking for 8 hours. Dinner was a pleasant surprise on the beach eating beautiful fish and drinking ice cold Rueda which is a local white wine from the vineyards.
