Spain – The Basque Pyrenees – Written (01-12)
The Basque Pyrenees – Spain
-
We had just finished our spring semester when my roommate Jack and I landed in Bilbao Spain on May 19. We were stoked as this was going to be a legendary trip filled with hiking, exploring different cities and even the Basque Country where Jacks relatives are from.
We booked our adventure through On Foot Holidays and they took care of our accommodations and brining any extra luggage from place to place everyday while we walked so we did not have to carry massive bags.
After landing in Bilbao we were shuttled off to a small village called Erratzu, high up in the Baztan valley, where we stayed for the night. We awoke the first morning to an amazing breakfast before beginning our 16 km trek for the day.

We put our phones in the bottom of our backpacks for the duration of the walking and relied on our abilities to read directions off a printed map. On the first day, being filled with excitement we came to a cross rode and decided to go right. After about a quarter mile walking that direction, Yuen (a man we met that morning) came running around the bend to inform us we were traveling the wrong direction and if we continued we would end up in FRANCE. We then turned around and continued on the correct route, thankful for Yuen looking our for us.
The rest of the day flew by and before long we arrived in Etxalar for the night.
