Distance walked so far : 129 kms
Distance to Santiago de Compostela : 683 kms
A misty morning becoming light showers. 23o.
Breakfast provided by a local cafe despite it being Sunday when most businesses are closed.
We walked along a direct route. First along the road and then wooded paths.
Some goats along the way with this character stuck up a tree.
First views of Bilbao, albeit in fog and showers.
Prepared for any weather.
There were 2 albergues as we entered the town but we decided to stay closer in at the Pension De La Fuente (32 euros) in the old town.

Our pension is in the old town.
We met Julie and Bob for lunch.
Ham or jamon a specialty.
Large puppets used in basque and religious festivals
Bilbao is very attractive city on the Rio Nervion.
Of course its main claim to fame is the spectacular Guggenheim Museum.
It is fabulous at any angle.
The famous 'Puppy' at the entrance of the Guggenheim Museum.
Evening drinks before heading home for an early night to prepare for another day's walking mañana.
123kms walked so far, and only 750kms to go!
