I climbed out of Pamplona and then floated through the enchanting towns of the Spanish Basque country. The charm here is overwhelming. Apparently, I am not alone in this feeling, because the only lodging I could find for the night was well off the beaten path in the town of Zubieta. Maps.Me sent me down a terrifyingly steep farm road to reach Zubieta, but once I arrived, I was treated to a medieval village with a river-powered laundromat (now defunct), a colorful hostel, and a pub whose Dutch owners served falafel. My bunkmates were a lovely Slovenian couple who admirably weathered my pent-up need for chat. Of all the places I've visited so far, the Spanish Basque country is at the top of the list of places to which I want to return.
