Camino de Santiago y Los Semifinales de España en Salamanca

The following weekend, I decided to head to Pamplona, where the running of the bulls would be occurring along with many other events. Before going to Pamplona though, I spent one night in a town nearby on my way to the campsite. The town was a stop for pilgrims making their way on the camino de santiago, a trail that people walk, bike, or use other modes to travel across the entire Northern section of Spain ending in the city where Santiago (St. James) is said to be buried.

But first, before I left, I went to watch the semifinal game of Spain in the plaza in Salamanca.

After winning, people marched down the street and treat cars like bulls using the Spanish flag as the matadors do with the bulls.

OK, here we are in Villava, very close to Pamplona. This is a picture of an old mill and bridge.
