It was a 5:15 wake-up for a 6am departure as we had a steep hot climb out of Zarautz
More lovely villages, but alas no cappuccinos at this hour
Great views of the coast including this one of Zamaia and it's harbour sea wall
The town itself was quite pretty .... and had cappuccinos
Way marking continued to be excellent and imaginative
We were on quiet back roads, increasingly exposed to the sun
But never in danger of being lost
A feature stop on this leg is Santa Maria church holding the Lady of Itziar, a 13 th century icon
And here she is, no more than 500 mm high
Interestingly they also had a black virgin
Then it was in to Deba, a nice coastal town, with two big lifts to get us down from the hillside to the town. Julie's blistered feet cheered when we got here.
Nice street art
And a nice square where we waited to get into the municipal alberge, our pilgrim dormitory accommodation for 5€ a night
And this was the alberge, the old train station, our home for the night
