Sept 20th Espinals Spain

Day 38   17 miles   Total 474

After a good night under the stars the morning brought great views of the land below. We didn't find anywhere as good as our overnight "hotel".
The morning was cool and as we ascended a cold breeze came on.
Suddenly we are out of France and into Navarra/Basque Spain. Woohoo.
Vive Espana.
  Spain and the landscape changed from high altitude grazing land to forest. Predominantly Beech.
After a few miles the route became a long steep descent into Ronçavalles.
The walk and Roncavalles was so much busier than before SJPdP.
At Burguette I managed to get money from a cashpoint - wahey.
  Once at Espinals I bought my companions Anne, George (Austrian), great guy and Jourg (German) a beer to celebrate being in Spain and solvent again.
We had dinner at the hotel, 3 courses, €10.50 and slept the night under the church cloisters.
