May 9th

Yesterday we were going to have a day off and stay in Pamplona but decided to walk a wee bit just 5k to Cizur Menor, by the Church of San Miguel.  We had a lovely time with some of the pilgrims chatting outside the dormitories.

Today we set of at 7:00 arriving at Zariguiegui and visited the Church of St. Andrew, beautiful.  After spending an hour there having a wee bit of lunch we continued on up to the summet, but before that we stopped by the ancient spring of Gambellacos.  A final climb and we reached the summit.  For those who have watched “The Way” you will recognise the statues. Really rough taraine down to Uterga where we are spending the night.
