2021 Anniewalkers - To Roncesvalles

From SJPP, we will be walking to Orisson. It is only 8 kilometers, but is quite steep. We stop here and take a shuttle back down to SJPP.

Next morning, we shuttle UP to Orisson, then continue walking to Roncesvalles.  Taking these two short days allows us to "train" while on the Camino, and avoid injury. We've done it for years, and it seems to work quite well.

In Roncesvalles, your dinner is included. We will meet for dinner at 7 pm after we've showered and rested. That will give us time to attend the Pilgrim's Mass and get a blessing for our trip. Even if you're not Catholic, this is a wonderful opportunity and I hope you'll attend.

Dinner at Roncesvalles is generally this: 

First course: choice between ensalada mixta (mixed salad) and macarrones (macaroni with sauce). 

Second course: Choice between fresh local trout or baked chicken. 

Dessert: Usually a choice between fruta (fruit), yogur (yup, yogurt) or flan. Do you know what flan is? It's like a lovely custard. Usually with the trout/chicken they serve patatas (like french fries). 

Wine or water and bread are included.

There are food machines at Roncesvalles, but I never bother with them. Tomorrow morning after a very short walk, we will find several options for coffee and breakfast, including a small store where you can buy picnic supplies.
