Today we arrived in Bilbao, the start of our pilgrimage, and started walking the camino to our alburge (hostel). We were met with our first yellow arow and shell to mark our way. We were also met with this monstrosity called simply “stairs” on the map. The view, though, makes it worth while.
We have not slept hardly at all but it is only 2:30 in the afternoon so we are now waiting for the Alburge to open at 3, shower, eat, and then sleep. Tomorrow the real walking begins.
