Arrival in Roncevalles Monastery

Arrival in Roncevalles Monastery

2018

From France to Spain through the Pyrenees. The day starts in Saint Jean Pied de Port. After more than 25 kilometers, especially climbing, the monastery of Roncevalles looms after the summit in the distance. Dutch volunteers greet and receive the tired pilgrims in the albergue. 

Alto de Mostelares

The descent of the Alto de Mostelares, after Castrojeritz, on the way to the flat Meseta is impressive. I stood still for half an hour and waited for the fog to rise. In the spring, the grain fields are still green. Pilgrims arriving in the summer see a golden-yellow plain

Morning mist

Morning mist

The morning mist on the meseta. On the long lonely stretch after Carrion de los Condes. Only with their own thoughts or the lack of them. Without wanting to be mindful in the moment
