Camino Francés Day 6: Puente la Reina - Estella
The walk to Estella passed through a mix of industrial, secluded, and historical areas, giving it a unique feel. Along the way, I saw an unmanned stand offering fruit, snacks, and water to pilgrims on a donation basis—a really kind gesture, though I didn’t take anything.
Starving upon arriving in Estella, I stopped at the first bar I saw and had my first pilgrim meal of the Camino, the portion was surprisingly generous. Finding my albergue took a few minutes since it was tucked away on a small street. The best part of this albergue was the bed—it had curtains! A pleasant surprise.
