In Laredo I had my first taste of a vino tinto from a vineyard in Orio. It was outstanding. Don't let the amount of sediment put you off, it adds so much to texture and taste. I have tried to find it outside the area and it is no where to be found> i suppose it just one of those small region anomalies.STAGE SIX: ORIO - AIZARNAZABEL (off trail)
We headed away from the coast at Zarautz towards Loiola/Loyola as we are making a side-pilgrimage to the birthplace of St Ignatius. Followed a marked GR route (yellow/white) through the hills and pasturelands, so no pilgrims or services. Definitely nice to get away from the touristy coast and the associated high prices.
STAGE FIVE: SAN SEBASTIÁN - ORIO
You like stairs and rocks? This is your kind of path. Humidity is finally easing and more pilgrims are on the trail. Albergue in Orio is at 50% capacity and almost full. Mostly Spanish walking right now. Good waymarking today and we actually were successful on getting a sello (which has been oddly rare so far). This stage would be a bit treacherous in the rain, but doable. There was only one water spigot and no other facilities.
