This past Saturday has been lived in Navarre an uneven journey of pilgrimage on the
Camino de Santiago. Three pilgrims have had to be aided by the service of firemen to undergo several indispositions in the first stage of the Navarrese section.
In the vicinity of Valcarlos, a neighbor located a pilgrim who was alone, unable to continue the march as he suffered a contusion in the knee. When he could not move, the neighbor alerted the emergency services and the firefighters transferred the pilgrim to the health center of Burguete, where he could be attended by the doctors.
In a second case, a pilgrim of Brazilian nationality suffered a syncope and also specified the transfer of the firemen. Before the acute symptoms of dizziness, the woman also was attended by the medical services of the office of Burguete.
In addition, firefighters located on the way to another pilgrim with obvious signs of exhaustion that made it impossible to continue the march. In this intervention, the firefighters helped the man by moving her to the Roncesvalles pilgrim's shelter.
The three aids have coincided in a day marked by the heat and the sunny weather, factors that the pilgrims take advantage to take the road once this section Navarrese has been reopened again after the closure that is usually indicated in the winter months by the Complicated weather conditions.
The first stage of the
Camino de Santiago in Navarrese soil, the section connecting the border town of San Juan de Pie de Puerto with Roncesvalles, is often one of the most demanding for pilgrims as the first effort they face. It also agrees that in the case of the hikers arriving from the stages by France, the Navarrese section is harder.
