A gloriously sunny day. If a bit stressful. Finding campsites here in the mountains is proving tricky; France seemed to be dotted with them at every town or village we passed, but Spain is a completely different story.We travelled toward Pamplona and only saw one campsite, but unfortunately couldn’t stop as we still had not found anywhere to buy food (or even just bread for that matter!) – Gorgeous scenery, we followed the Aragon river, passed lakes and waterfalls etc, but nowhere to shop or sleep.
We eventually stopped in Pamplona itself and walked someway from where we parked to find a supermarket and stock up. Then hastily backed out of town again – too much traffic, too many people and some very confusing road signs!
We eventually gave up looking for somewhere to wildcamp when
5pm came and we still hadn’t eaten again. We got to a small town called Irache near Estella in the Navarre region and took a lovely (but expensive) pitch with its own running water, electricity and ant’s nest.The sun was still scorching by the time we ate, but we managed to stop being frustrated long enough to formulate a plan for the next few days. Head North, find the beaches and follow the coast, with any luck the campsites will be cheaper and more plentiful there.
