After Roncesvalles, it seems you ought to be past the Pyrenees but you still must come down through the foothills. You are not really out of them until the big Alto de Pardon hill after Pamplona. Our goal was to walk that far this year. But goals are always soft for us, dependent on whatever.
From Viskarette, we planned a 12-mile day to Larasoana and the new Pension Tau.
Looking over the edge of the ridge
Hilly, woodsy, shady trail to start the day.
Steep downhill at times to remind us it is still the foothills
Not out of the mountains yet
We walked along a ridge much of the day and had some serious steep downhills to test our knees.
Our pension was very nice. We had a double room just off the entrance to the house. Our private bathroom was als off the entranceway. I came out of the shower in my underwear to find several new arrivals just coming in. Very European moment.
Rocky footing
Steps to descend
Nice flat spot
