I agree, take a day off when you need it, or as in my case, whenever there is something worth seeing that is off the Camino. Santiago will still be there whenever you reach the end of the Camino!
For me, that section of the Camino was the most impressive. When I did it I was 70 years old and not in amazing physical shape; nonetheless, I'm very, very glad I did it. I prepared by doing daily long walks which included some hills. My advice, go for it!
I remember the descent from Zubiri. It was a real challenge on a wet day. I'm heading back to Pamplona in a few days to continue where I left off. I'm planning to go as far as Burgos this time. I've downloaded the app to my phone. Thanks for the info.
