Day 6 (5/17) — Pamplona to Puente la Reina

New route! New city!

Interestingly enough, I did not consult the syllabus or blog before starting this walk, and I was completely flabbergasted but by the fact that I had no recollection of the section — only to discover that I’d never done it. Heh.

It was our first good weather day and it was a beautiful walk. Big open fields and lots of wildflowers. And some climbing. The air temps couldn’t be more perfect, which was a welcome change from Days 1–3. Given the high number of miles we’ve already logged, much of the group was in pretty rough shape and opted to take a cab, so they got to Puente la Reina early and got to explore the city and attend mass.

Puente la Reina was beautiful. I didn’t explore as much as I would have liked because I was pretty tired after another 17 mile day, but dinner was good and so was the company.
