    Roncesvalles photo bomb

    My wife and I arrived in Roncesvalles today. Something is different about some of the pilgrims but I can’t put my finger on it. Sharing pictures with friends sometimes yields interesting consequences!

    In all the years I've walked the Camino, I have never walked the Valcarlos Route. Tell me about it. Is it shorter? Longer? Steeper? Have you done both routes? Compare and contrast? Thanks Peregrinos! I'm just curious and wondering if maybe I'll go that way this year...
