Day 3 elevation profile
Our early morning start for the relatively short hike started in the rain – our first taste of what it is like when the rain in Spain falls on the plain. Our first goal was to reach Arre – about 9.5km away. It was a beautiful wooded track along the River Agra – a delightful mountain stream.
A couple of challenging hills and descents kept us honest and made the walk a little more challenging than we expected today. The beautiful and old bridge at Arre was our reward for the hard work.
The final 7 or 8 kms was now a relatively flat walk into Pamplona. As we walked we met a little 5 year old girl and her mother walking the Camino together. She was full of life and spirit and lifted us as we began to wane after a long walk. We gave her a small toy koala to remember the Aussies she met along the way. That was the last we saw of them. We hope she and her mother make it.
The Camino spirit work in many ways.
