[QUOTE="Erromesa, post: 862816, member: 95333"] Quick update: crossed the frontier and am sleeping in the frontón of Urdazubi. I decided to stop here to see the caves tomorrow and so I didn't push for Amaiur. Naturally the monastery albergue is closed. Quick tip: just before turning into Ainhoa, there's a fountain. Go directly into Ainhoa, on the right. Ignore the yellow arrows: I went up the mountain for about thirty minutes before I realised my mistake. Don't listen to French tourists giving you instructions! Only listen to locals.:p Speaking of French tourists, I hurried through Ainhoa. Picturesque though it may be, it was way too crowded for my taste with French tourists from outside the Basque Country. Whilst I was trying to sleep, three pilgrims are shown in by a helpful towns person. It's nearly 10 pm. They're from Barcelona. We must have started only a few hours apart from Baiona, because we didn't see each other or any other pilgrim on the route for that matter. They're carrying a tent for the three of them. Like me they have very little planning behind them - they're not even sure how to get back to Barcelona from Iruña (Pamplona) and they're not in a rush to go back. Who can blame them, a big city like that in these strange times... It's wonderful to speak Catalan with them. It's been nearly a year since I've had an occasion to speak it. I used to live in Mallorca, and in the Balearic Islands the native language of the majority of residents is Catalan. In fact said ease of communication made me consider doing some kind of Camino through Catalonia but it doesn't seem too safe right now so maybe later. Despite my passion for languages, I've found that the universal language in any Camino is simple human kindness. We don't need to share a language to share our common humanity. I think that's what I'll take away from it. [/QUOTE]
