And we’re off!

The Camino de Santiago’s French Route in Spain begins at the border town of St. Jean Pied du Port. As a group, we wanted to visit cathedrals, museums, and other historical monuments during the first part of the trip so we hired a car to drive us to our locations until we would walk the last 100K. This journey usually takes at least a month to complete and we knew we only had a limited amount of time to walk. Encounter Travel for Transformation included most of the significant places along the Camino so we could experience a portion of the areas we were unable to walk.

Our first stop was Pamplona. We checked into our hostel and went directly to the Cathedral to learn about the history of the city. Then we explored the city and sat in the Plaza Mayor and observed the community and ate delicious tapas and ice cream.
