[QUOTE="ebrandt, post: 1031788, member: 14406"] Day 4. Wow. Today was absolutely beautiful! We finally got off the bike path for the first 2/3 of the day. The path was mostly small country roads or granite paths. There was one very short difficult climb up some muddy round rocks, and about 1 km of steep “stepping stones ( that were uneven, out of place and loose 🙄). There was a steep 2km climb out of Beasain and a shorter one out of Idiazabal. But nothing that was too much. The signs were good today and we did not need to get consult the gps until just before Zegama. At the very beginning of the town outskirts there is a fountain. Then the bike path comes out to the highway. At this point there are yellow arrows going both directions. To make matters more confusing, to the left there are yellow X’s painted on a sign. But if you go to the right you end up at a yellow arrow pointing to a closed gate. The correct path is to go to the left and stay on the bike path all the way into town. We had pinxtos for supper last night at Restaurante Blai in Beasain — very good. Today we had cuajada ( one of my Spanish favs) and oranges for breakfast at the albergue. We also were able to brew a lovely cup of tea there ( Tom walks with a stash of English Breakfast Tea bags in his pack). We were walking by 7:00. We stopped at a really pretty bar in Olabierria for coffee (they were open at 8:20) but they did not serve food. We stopped again at the little cafe where the path breaks out into Idiazabal. The scenery today was spectacular, lush farms, distant mountains, sheep, cattle and goats grazing. And once again, lovely people. One guy doubled back on his own walk to make sure we didn’t miss a turn. Another shouted Buen Camino from his car window! It was another hot day — 29C/@85F! So we were glad to get to Zegama at 2:00 Tonight we are at Pension Zegama, 55€ for a double. It seems quite nice. We plan to walk over to see the new albergue later. Meanwhile, here are some pics from today. [/QUOTE]
