First, the numbers: we traveled 14.3 miles bringing our total to 31 miles.

After spending the afternoon, evening and early morning in San Sebastian, we understand why it is considered one of the most beautiful cities in Spain. It truly is amazing.

We left in the midst of rain and began the long westward hike to Zarautz. The views were breathtaking. 10 miles into the hike, we saw our first indication of how far Santiago is. So with 25 miles of walking already behind us, this sign tells us we still have about 500 to go.

We stopped in the town of Orio ( pronounced like the cookie) for lunch. We had five excellent Tapas between the two of us  and soft drinks, all for about 10 euro. More importantly, the food was excellent.

Within four more miles we had sight of Zarautz. Again, another beautiful waterfront town.

Almost as importantly, the Sun finally broke through after a day-and-a-half of hiking in the rain. It was beautiful! It is amazing how soon we forget that last week on the River Lot, we dealt with temperatures in the high nineties every single day. France was having a scorcher!

So now to laundry, bathing, and finding food to fuel the engine. See you tomorrow.
