Frrom Pamplona to Puente la Reina ( 27 km)

One of the signs along the way showing the shell symbol of St. James and letting you know that you are on the right way:)))

I start the walk at 6.00 since the forecast says has 26 degree C and I want to reach my destination before the afternoon heat. Not a lot of heat in the morning though - it's only C10 degree.

I prepare my left knee with an elastic bandage and am off to climb new mountains.

The guide warns me about the decent from Alto Del Perdon as it is forecasted to be 1 km of stony and steep decline. After 1 hour I hear a person behind me going , " ring, ring", and ?i get to see the first bicycle pilgrims on their mountain bike. They must be in their lowest gear as the inline us challenging. Their portugese flag on the back of one mountain bike shows me where they are from.

The decline was as expected challenging, but of course I made it somehow. Thank God my friend Ina advices me to consult Adi, the orthopedist in my hometown, before the trip. He prepared my hiking shoes and also requested that I will get real hiking shoes (at least AB or B) for my trip. The solid sole of the shoes and the phantastic inlays help me to cope with these difficult declines.
