[QUOTE="Bad Pilgrim, post: 1154804, member: 50859"] [B]Day 3: Altsasu - Salvatierra, 25 kms[/B] Rain was in the forecast today, but I have arrived safely in Salvatierra and still nothing. Maybe this evening. Today's stage was one third in the woods, one third on the road and one third with open fields. It was not as scenic as the two previous days but I still had nice views of the mountains this morning. In Egino I followed the tracks up the hills which was the only ascent of the day. I am glad I did since it took me further away from the motorway and made me walk in the woods a little longer. I had to open and close many gates, but I didn't see any cattle. You can also walk on the carretera further down. In that case this stage is totally flat for 25 kms! After Llarduia the Camino stopped short at the train station and the railway tracks. No bridge but several signs saying it is forbidden to walk on the tracks. I had to check with the online guide to understand that they actually wanted me to cross the tracks. There was a picture of the platform and where to go. I felt like a criminal but there was no other way to get to the other side. Right there I stumbled upon some peregrino street-art à la Moranchel, with multicolored stones, poles and ceramics forming a sort of benches (?). It looked like benches to me anyway. I could sit on it. Art or rest area? Who knows. Picture below. Everything was closed along the way so my first break was the truck-stop El Ventorro in San Román. Shortly thereafter, I obeyed my guidebook and made a detour to see the prehistoric dolmen in Egilatz. Picture below. It was the first dolmen to be discovered in Spain in the 19th century. It is a kind of primitive cemetery and it was once much larger than today: 60x30 mtrs. I read this on the information panel and pondered a bit about what had happened there, then I continued to Salvatierra. I stay at hostal José Mari: 20 euros with shared bathroom just like four years ago. The laundromat is still only 50 mtrs down the street and I intend to use it..! As for the guidebooks, I am switching to Gronze for the next stages until Miranda de Ebro, since I am on the Camino Vasco now. Gronze is the G.O.A.T, as the youngsters say nowadays 🐐! Tomorrow, I am on familiar ground all the way to Vitoria-Gasteiz. Tag along! [/QUOTE]
