| Some people didn't have as good a trip as I did. There were many memorials along the trail for people who had did along the way. Pilgrims who came later would pile up rocks on top of them. |

This area of Navarra was in Basque country. The ETA is a terrorist organization that wants the Basque to be separate from the rest of Spain. Their graffiti was in many places. |

Children play in a fountain in a Plaza. Almost all towns and villages had some sort of town plaza, sometimes many. They were often ringed by shops and cafes. Places like this made Spain look very livable. |

Sometimes the trail stretched for long, flat, lonesome distances.
