| Farewell Portugal |
Any hopes of achieving a successful Veganuary have disappeared on this trip. It seems almost impossible to get anything vaguely Vegetarian let alone vegan. Yesterday’s chickpea stew came with a great big pork bone in it and my estofado de Cordero had lamb in it! (Chortle)

Spain arrived through our window two days ago as we drove through heavy fog to Villarda, a village on the Santiago de Compostela route where Graham had stayed when he walked it 16 years ago. Unfortunately all the churches and pilgrim related places were closed.

| Hola Spain! ... again |
It’s not a pretty village, it’s certainly seen better days, but there was a market in the morning where I could rootle through some fungus-fuelled mandarins to select a couple of edible fruits.

The water tap had frozen overnight so we couldn’t fill up. Disaster. Not really: we managed to fill the tank very slowly from a half frozen hose at a petrol station nearby. There are few things less exciting.

| On the Compostela |
Today we arrived in Pamplona through even more fog and the fluffy one managed to purchase two pairs of shoes at a non-charity shop. A real feat - if you’ll pardon the pun.

The Aire here seems safe enough but we’re surrounded by about 20 homeless people hanging out on the benches in the corner. We probably won’t go back into town again just in case.
Tomorrow, Roncesvalles.
