Yes, interested, thanks for the link. Hope the rucksack shows up soon. I look forward to more.Here we are, in Beasain already! It seems like ages - it only takes me 48 hours now to become engrossed in the Camino.
My 2 daughters and I met up at Biarritz airport 48 hours ago, one daughter without her backpack that has gone (and remains) astray. We walked only about 8 km of the "first" day to Astigarraga. The highlight was my slipping in the mud - didn't you do that, @VNwalking ?
Then, today we walked 13 km of the distance to Beasain. The commuter train conveniently serves many of these towns at the start. This gave us the chance to do the luggage business, catch up on sleep, get into the mood, and build some flex time into our 12 days. We hope to walk the rest of the way to Burgos.
The weather has been beautiful but tomorrow has rain in the forecast. Fortunately it is only 18 km to Zegama.
More details are in my blog at www.tritetales.com if you are interested.
You are on a lovely path. Enjoy every moment. And watch out for the chicken bridge
Buen Camino
So if you're going to Burgos that means you're on Via de Bayona and not Vasco del InteriorHere we are, in Beasain already! It seems like ages - it only takes me 48 hours now to become engrossed in the Camino.

You are correct of course and I was pondering this as I looked at the big map on the wall in the albergue this morning. The way the map is labelled has the Via de Bayona starting far from Bayona. I'm not sure we can fight the influence of that map! Besides, I like to recognize the "Vasco" part.So if you're going to Burgos that means you're on Via de Bayona and not Vasco del Interior
We wallowed! The mud on that first day was epic, and far more impressive than the small amount on the way up to the tunnel.didn't you do that, @VNwalking ?
It's in the post about Beasain to Zegama (#49?).Chicken bridge?

I told Antonio in Beasain that I was friends with @VNwalking and @SabineP. He remembered you well and was very happy!
Awwwww.I told Antonio in Beasain that I was friends with @VNwalking and @SabineP. He remembered you well and was very happy!
Tom, I hate mud, too..but I hate "hot" even more...jus sayin'. Hmm, ...I think I hate it more, anyway!I HATE MUD! I can handle the cold, wind, rain and snow. I can even adapt to the odd really hot and sunny day. But, I HATE MUD...in any conditions...
I go out of my way to avoid it when I can. Consider walking, carefully, in the adjacent fields. Take care not to trample the farmer's work.
And watch out for the chicken bridge
How did I miss it twice!Holy speckled hen! How did I miss that last summer?!
Here I am - alive, well and interested.Yes, where are you @C clearly
Beautiful.I apologize for abandoning the thread. I just lost the urge to blog and post, and gave myself permission to postpone!
On my own I probably would not have fared so well or so deliciously. But we had a secret resource. Some people are mud magnets, others are rain magnets....and @SabineP is a good food magnet.We didn't find as much amazing food as others (e.g. @VNwalking) had raved about, but I am sure it is there. Nevertheless, we survived happily.
Not entirely true...
It seems that the walk from Irun to Santo Domingo is called the Vasco del Interior. The divergence from Estavillo (6 km after La Puebla de Arganzón) to Burgos is called the Camino Bayona. The Bayona signage makes it very clear.
....
True. I also like to get these things right. Now I have edited my post #28 above, accordingly. As I said, someone put up Bayona signs after Estavillo, to make the name of that part very clear.Not entirely trueVia de Bayona is Camino in its own and not just the divergence from Estavillo because it starts in Bayonne and not in Irun. So I would simply say that Via de Bayona and Camino Vasco del Interior share / overlap a part from Irun to Estavillo
Same as Levante and Sureste on many stretches but are two different Caminos.
I have a photo of huge stone Via de Bayona (but from Irun) mojon but mostly there are wooden mojones with Done Jakue Bidea/Camino de Santiago written on them. Both in my memory and on my photos
They are quite small so many of them were overgrown. I had to really be careful to spot them.
Exactly this one
It was definitely before Estavillo but I don't remember if it was after La Puebla de Arganzon or even later along the road after Burgueta.Yes, those big ones with the map were plentiful after Estavillo, and they convinced me that we were definitely on the Camino de Bayona! Where was the concrete one? We started walking a few km out of Irun, so perhaps missed it.
It looks like the latter, but I don't remember seeing it. (Which of course doesn't mean it isn't still there....I don't remember if it was after La Puebla de Arganzon or even later along the road after Burgueta.
Yes, clearly, if you mean Göran Larsson's. But when was his photo taken?It's the same one. Check the railings on @Roger Hogstrom photo and the first one of mine. Same same but different
Ooops, yes, thank you, my badYes, clearly, if you mean Göran Larsson's. But when was his photo taken?
Brava!. I have found that exact marker on Google Earth, about halfway between the N-1 turnoff and the village of Burgueta.
My photo was taken 2018-07-18 (08:36). It was in Burgueta. I started walking from Biarritz Airport, then Irun, Santo Domingo de la Calzada, Burgos. My plan was to continue walk from Burgos on the ’Camino de San Olav’. but I didn't have time, so I rented a bike and cycled half of San Olav on a day trip.Ooops, yes, thank you, my badI edited the post.
That's for him to answer. Mine were taken in April 2016.
