Day 9 – Estella to Los Arcos
The Marvelous Spanish Health System From about day 3, Pat mentioned that she was getting headaches, and in fact on the descent down into Zubiri, she felt a little bit dizzy. By the time we got to Estella, we went into a pharmacy. They took one look and...

Day 10 – Los Arcos to Viana
Water System On my first Camino, I used a water bladder inside the pack and felt that that was quite good, and I carried an extra emergency packet inside of my pack. There's always a huge debate about what's the best system to use for water. Many people love bladders,...

Day 14 – Nájera to Santo Domingo
Last night in Nájera we tried an albergue, although it was a private room. It was a nice change, and I think we both came to the conclusion that pay a little bit more for a casa rural or small hotel is worth it for the additional privacy and peace and quiet. ...

Day 15 – Santo Domingo to Belorado
We got off to a rather late start, I think about 10 o'clock by the time we got going. The weather is really starting to warm up. For us it was a full day, 21 kilometers. We passed through some really interesting villages along the way, particularly Grañón. I...
