Roncevalles, Spain the first day on the Camino


We made to Roncevalles but the weather is too bad to get a ride to St John, so we start our Camino from here. Rainy and wet with too much fog to go over the mountains.
Patsy is shown here with a fellow pilgrim with whom we shared a taxi from Pamplona. The church in the background is huge but the village has a population of about 50. Many of the churches along the Camino were built for the pilgrims and this was an important stop on the Camino Francais.

  1. Too bad you missed St. Jean. It is incredible. And the hike over the Pyrenees was my favorite part. Darned near killed me (lol) but will do it again, God willing!!
