Saturday 23 September. Cool,perfect start, too hot and sunny later.

Keeping, for a few days with the test of distance devices:

book- 23.8 km

Garmin 25.62

iPhone- 22.7

Android 23.0

Pretty good concordence today.  As a side testing note I carried both the Android and iPhone in my pocket today.

Better terrain today.

Mostly good walking on decent paths. Some exceptions. Above not an exception.

Lovely spider Weds in photo. May have to zoom.

An interesting sight along a path: horses eating bread that a farmer delivered. Bread, probably day old, laid out across a field.

A little further on geese honking and looking for food from QB.

Stopped at a small abby and found a typical good story. Person, pictured, bought some land and as part of the land was an abandoned church, 12th century, looted almost to the bare bones in 2009.  He decided to restore it.  Naturally found interesting art works behind the walls, etc.

I asked him if the church was deconsecrated? Well, that is a complicated matter.  The local priest will not talk to him, even after 4 years and will not approve it.  He spoke with the Archbishop who worked around the priest to get it declared a ruin.   It is not resolved and may never be.

Stopped for Pinxos in Villova, a medieval city(1184) with an old old bridge.

After crossing another, similar looking bridge of great importance, also 12th century, the Magdalena bridge we entered Pamplona again.

Right in the midst of a semi-religious festival! Like Times square in it’s heyday.
