Camino del Norte
Day 3 Zarautz to Deba 23km
Highlights video https://youtu.be/PaPkGmcRdRk
Well another fabulous day. We left Zarautz and again it was straight up. We’ve come to the conclusion that’s pretty much all you do on the Northern route. Go up. But that’s how you get the best views…
We took a quick detour to Santa Barbara to have a look at the view from there which was spectacular. Why is it though that when you go up, the next thing is you go back down? We have been up and down a lot today!!
We enjoyed a coffee at Askizu (which was another steep up) and then the route took us through yet more farmlands. The towns on this route are few and far between but the views are spectacular.
We had lunch (back down at sealevel!) in Zumaia. Funny thing we saw there were all the people swimming in the port where the sign said not to, and a kid fishing off the the back of a stand up paddle board.
More steep ups and magnificent views and then there was a massive steep down into Deba. Unfortunately we hadn’t been able to organise accomodation in Deba because there’s some public holiday today or something, so we have to stay in Murtiku- which was another 5kms away. But we weren’t walking that! Tried to book a taxi but you have to phone and 1. No one answered and 2. Not sure they would’ve understood us anyway. Fortunately we showed someone our Google translate and they suggested a bus - and one actually came! So we were ok.
It’s been another stunning day…
