Sept 8-9 Pamplona (camino starting point)

What a great little town, made famous with the running of the bulls. Thank goodness I booked our hotel room a few months ago. Being the weekend, many hotels and albergues were full ("completo" or "lleno" are not Spanish words I wish to hear when trying to book accommodations). 

On Saturday there were many street markets with vendors dressed in medieval costumes and some of the products being sold were unique. And I must emphasize the gastronomical delights - the bakery and pastry shops, the tapa bars and restaurants, all featuring local foods. One could gain a few pounds if staying too long!

This vendor had animated characters for old stories. A hit with the kids.
