The 12th day along the French coast

It has been a while since we wrote our blog, so it's about time to update! We left St. Jean Pied de port and headed for Peyehorade knowing that this would be the last bit of the Pyrenees, and the hills would get easier. A nice feeling that is!! ...

Extramadura, wet and cold
