Another beautiful day! Today was an 18 kilometre journey from France to Spain, consisting of three segments. We started with a 6 kilometre ascent up the Pyrenees, followed by about a 6 kilometre walk along a ridge line, and then a descent into the tiny hamlet of Roncesvalles. We are now back in Spain albeit still in Basque Country. We stayed at Hotel Roncesvalles which was a welcome rest for weary pilgrims.
The walk itself was through beautiful mountain countryside as the photos attest to. It was hard but rewarding.
