The streets of old town St. Jean de Luz, Basque France. At the local Marche les Halles, we met Monsieur Pétian, a vendor who had walked the Camino de Santiago 7 times and is now the man with the stamp, our first in our Peregrino passports. That and blue skies seemed an auspicious send-off as we headed south over the border to Spain. #lonelypilgrim via Instagram http://ift.tt/1NxMRor
Day 1, Camino de Santiago del Norte. We took the so-called "alpinist" route in the hills outside of Guadelupe. A good challenge for 16 miles, included conversations in broken and blended French and Spanish with locals taking day hikes and doing trail runs. A good workout to pay off with pinxtos (Basque tapas) in San Sebastián. via Instagram http://ift.tt/1rgwMiE
San Sebastián, Parte Vieja (old quarter). Basilica de Santa Maria del Coro. If you visit, you'll find a lived-in sort of feel, the kind of place that's pleasant to visit and probably even more pleasant to call home. Of course, you must eat yourself silly of pinxtos (tapas) and drink plenty of Txakoli (local sparkling wine), Rioja (red) or cider. via Instagram http://ift.tt/1SZV5rh
