[QUOTE="ebrandt, post: 1033184, member: 14406"] Days 6 and 7 highlights. Walking into Vitoria, Nuestra Senora Estabiliz was a real highlight. We were there before the museum opened but the church is open 7 days a week from 8 to 20. When we were there we were the only ones. It was so beautiful and contemplative. I would recommend anyone to make sure they take this short detour. One other thing I forgot to add on my route notes — there is a cafe, fountain and bathrooms there. In Vitoria, the Cathedral tour lived up to expectations. When I reserved, I specified English thinking we would just get one of those electronic recording thingys. No. We got a personal tour. Just the two of us and the very expert guide. What a real treat! Today the extreme kindness of folks we met stands out. In Gometxa we were so disappointed to see that the Bar was closed. Forum folks had said it was open at 8 and the owner was a pilgrim. So I was sitting at a picnic table outside the closed, for sale bar feeling bummed. Then a guy walked up, the owner of the bar it turns out, asked if we were pilgrims and offered us cafe con leche, tea and added cream puffs at no charge! Wow! The second kindness was really incredible! I never booked lodging at La Puebla hoping that the albergue would open. Last night when I finally gave up the ghost, I went to book at the Hotel Plaza Arganzon and the only room they had was a suite for 112€! I messaged the owner told her we were pilgrims and asked her if she had anything smaller come available would she down grade us to the smaller room. When we arrived, she let us know she was really booked, but she had called Hostal Palacio, confirmed that they had availability and let us cancel our reservation! Then, I was able to get my clothes dried here at Hostal Palacio. This place is a little crazy and they have been super busy. Its pretty clean and basic. But through all their business, the owners have been super kind to us. [/QUOTE]
