Starting in Pamplona Tuesday May 21,2013

Hiya Annie,
I made the decision to walk from SJPP instead of Seville this year, beginning May 14th
Si, si I am here on the Camino Frances and have had wonderful walking days thus far....sure, it is muddy and rainy now, but hey...as you say... this is familiar territory and the landscape is green and beautiful and fellow pilgrims are super friendly. Maybe I shall see you on the way. I will look for your forum patch! :mrgreen:

Buen Camino, Anniesantiago.

Annie Shalom
Slow and sure is the way but don't run out of Pamplona before giving this wonderful beautiful town a good look. The first day can often be problematic since you are excited, everything is so new and people to talk with, may be hard to find your usual pace qnd rythum of walking. The Alto del Perdón sculpture is a good place for a rest the world seems to be divided concerning this art, some love it others say that the windwills and figures there disturb the natural beauty. I love it. You will be quickly into High Pilgrim Season many people all trying to stay in the same albergue so try and break
Brierley's recommended stages early. First day out I would recommend Albergue Camino del Perdon in Uterga-it on the Camino and while nothing to write home about the place is clean friendly and with a cafe/bar/restaurant right there.

Hi Annie,
Say hello to Jose. Am looking forward to staying at Pension Sarate next year. Love Pamplona!
