Pyrenees Day 3

Today was the most physically demanding day of my trek through the Pyrenees. Big climbs followed by steep and slippery descents. But as I’ve learned on the Camino, those days are always the most rewarding. I was given wonderful views of the Pyrenees and also my first look to the see and into Spain.

I was also off the roads on pedestrian tracks. The walking is much more pleasant, it’s so much easier on the feet and I didn’t have to worry about dogs as much.

Tomorrow I will arrive in Spain and officially connect to the Camino del Norte. I should also meet a whole new pilgrim community. Tonight I’m in Ascain, a lovely town in Basque Country. I nice place to spend my last night in France.

Looking back to Espelette this morning
Cows and hills
Looking out to the ocean and Spain

  1. Oh my!
    The scenery is breathtaking!!
    But at the same time, I can imagine the uphill you needed to walk!
    Still great that it was rewarding!
    Spain is one of my favourite country to visit! Hope you have wonderful experience in Spain as well!
