JerryStroebele replied to the thread Pamplona to Burgos in late September 2024 - albuerges and weather?.Hola Mendo Girl. My wife, my niece and her husband and my neighbor and I will be walking there at the same time. One of us is old and slow (me) so say Buen Camino as you zoom past us. We will each carry a silk liner treated with permethrin...
