Day 3 - 4th of September - Roncesvalles to Pamplon
... started a more industrial part of Navarra. It also included walks along a busy national road with lorries and cars zooming past with no respect for any pilgrim. Just after Larraosana I coincidentally bumped into an old couple walking along the path. They stopped for a chat and seemed surprised I would walk all the way to Pamplona. The man was the old "Alcalde" (Mayor) of Larraosana, who was one of the original "amigos del Camino" (friends of the Camino). He had created a ...
Running of the Bulls
... at the door for a further 10 min a lady came past she said something, we did some pointing and sign language and then she disappeared. Another 15 min later I went for a walk to find her and she came back, let us into the building, put us in the lift and in sign language told us to go to level 2 and wait there.

I ran with the bulls!
... the night away with thousands of other campers.
The next morning was opening ceremony day. I won’t go into too much detail but basically it is one of the craziest parties ever. The entire town erupts, sangria is thrown EVRYWHERE.
