Day 6 – Markina to Gernika

The day started out very promising, a Spanish breakfast, clear cloudless sky’s and no aches and pains. The walk out of town was beside a babbling book. But soon started up into the mountains.

Other pilgrims ahead of us

One of things not mentioned in any of the guides is the rustic nature of the goat tracks we walk along. A lot of the trails were washed out and overgrown with blackberries.

Walking down is harder than it looks

We stopped at Monastery up in the hills, and went inside for a look.

Other churches were not open.

We knew this was going to be along day, but it took us 11.5hrs to reach our destination at 7:30pm, a little foot sore.

We then had to go for a walk to find something for dinner. Nothing was open so we settled for a bar that served pinxtos.

Tomorrow promises to be a hot day.
