A very pleasant day. 14 miles but pretty simple compared to yesterday. Spent a lot of time in forests which was nice but limited some of the views.
Off to Pamplona tomorrow. Anyone want to run with the bulls? I’m actually a Hemingway fan, so this stop should be cool.
Bill, what kind of shoes do people wear on the Camino?
It’s pretty evenly split between hiking boots and running shoes (trail runners). A few people wear hiking sandals, as well.
I wear trail runners (from Hoka). They work great for me. Light. Soft. Dry quickly. Only downside is that after 450 miles, the first pair were pretty worn down. Glad I have a new pair now.
There is a percentage of the community that loves hiking boots. It’s almost religious. They like the ankle support, toughness on rocks and waterproof nature. More power to them. Just feels like overkill to me on the Camino.






Thanks for continuing to share your journey and the photos!
Hi Billy!!! I just signed up for your updates. I’m just in awe of what you’re doing. Way to go, man! You are awesome!
Come over and join me!! European chapter of the 3L club!!!
So funny!! I wish I could. Sadly, I’ve taken up pickleball in a big way recently, and I’m finding that my knees don’t want to do as much as my head does!
Enjoy every minute and be good to your body.
Bill,
What is your favorite part of the day? Is it getting up and starting or is it the meals? Something else?
