Day 2: Roncesvalles -> Larasoaña
Today is mainly flat/downhill (apparently!). Heading 26km through Basque hamlets and forests to the riverside village of Larasoaña. Slightly late start but a shorter hike than yesterday time-wise
Achy Breakfast
Feeling so much better than we expected this morning, but my (Jules) feet and James’ shoulders are at risk of death today after yesterday’s killer hike. Can we make it another 26k?!
Late Start But We’re Off!
The air is so fresh 🌈
Quick Fuel-up
In a small town called Espinal, built in 1269 as a refuge for pilgrims running away from violent bandits. Realising Estrella Galicia is on tap around these parts 😏
Death Chickens (from Yesterday)

Osteriz
Quick stop, feet are KILLING me. Still 6km to go. James is absolutely fine today
Made It - Already Met The Local Cats
More From Today
Constant sound of bells attached to all the sheep, cows, horses in almost every field. So peaceful. (Admittedly I was listening to the Hairspray! soundtrack for some of it). Closing in on Pamplona. Arrive there tomorrow after a “short walk” 🥵
