During my travels from Madrid to Saint Jean Pied de Port I took some pictures but, frankly, few were impressive. (Fortunately I was able to spend a day in Madrid at the end of my Camino to make up for what I missed. Those pictures will be posted later.) After receiving my bag in Saint Jean Pied de Port I did go out and walk around the town and managed to get some pictures. Here are a few of my favorites.

The 17th century Citadel overlooking Saint Jean Pied de Port. Used to defend France from Spain.
Today it houses a school.

I have put these pictures, along with others I took in Saint Jean Pied de Port, in my
2011 Camino de Santiago Google Photos album. As I add more Camino posts I will add more pictures to this group.
These are beautiful!!! I love how you see shells everywhere. Look how GREEN the grass is!! Wow...
