I’m in Pamplona right now. It seems my plan to avoid the throngs of pilgrims worked. I’ve been walking for about four hours, and I’ve hardly seen another backpack.

Although it’s only 11 am, and I’m not done walking for the day, I told myself I wasn’t going to pass through without taking an extended break and trying a pintxo, along with a late morning caña.

Pero no más cerveza until I’m done walking for the day.
